US TSYS: Yesterday’s Recovery Rally Unwinds, Curves Steepen To Fresh ’24 Highs
Sep-24 10:26
Tsys lower during pre-NY hours as a Chinese monetary easing package weighed on bonds, while driving a rally in equities and oil.
- The latest round of Chinese policymaker support aims to stimulate domestic demand and promote the achievement of the country’s annual growth target.
- Much of Monday’s second-half rally (driven by heightened risk surrounding Israel & Lebanon) has been unwound.
- TY last -0-10+ at 114-14, 0-01+ off lows.
- Yesterday’s base (114-11+) protects the Sep 4 low (114-00+).
- Bulls need to retake the Sep 19 high (115-02+) to start to reassert their control.
- Yields 1-5bp higher, curve bear steepens.
- 2s10s hit a fresh cycle high at 19.2bp, 5s30s did the same, printing 60.6bp.
- On the data front, regional Fed activity indicators and various house price indices will be released today.
- We will get comments from hawkish Fed dissenter Bowman, although we don’t think we will get much new there, as the detailed explanation of her dissent has already been provided.
- $69bln of 2-Year Tsy supply will also have to be digested.
OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Sell-Off In Gilts Exposes Key Support
Sep-24 10:21
- In the FI space, Bund futures continue to trade below their recent highs. The latest move down - a correction - has resulted in a breach of the 20-day EMA. This continues to signal scope for a deeper retracement near-term, potentially towards the 50-day EMA, at 133.63. Clearance of this average would undermine a bullish theme. For bulls, a reversal higher would refocus attention on key resistance and the bull trigger at 135.66, the Aug 5 high.
- A bull cycle in Gilt futures remains intact, however, the sell-off that started Sep 7, highlights a corrective phase and this week’s move lower suggests potential for a continuation near-term. Support at 98.92, 76.4% of the Sep 2 - 17 bull leg, has been cleared and this strengthens the current bearish theme. The break exposes the key support at 98.11, the Sep 2 low. For bulls, a reversal higher would refocus sights on 101.54, Sep 17 high. Initial resistance is at 99.88, the 20-day EMA.
