US TSYS: Surprise Corporate Issuance Weighs on Tsys
May-05 13:07
On an otherwise quiet start to a FOMC week and spring holiday closures -- today's potential outsized corporate issuance from Apple Inc and Comcast likely tempered the recent bounce in Tsys - spec-tied selling ahead of rate lock hedging has pushed futures back near early overnight lows:
Tsy Jun'25 10Y back to steady at 111-05 after rising to 111-13.5 (+8.5) ahead of the opening bell, early overnight low at 111-04.5. Initial technical support is at 111-02 (Low Mar 2 / 50-dma) followed by 110-30.5 (50-day EMA). A clear breach of this average would strengthen a bearish threat and expose 110-16+, the Apr 22 low.
