US TSYS: Round Number 10Y and 30Y Yields Tempt Some Entry

May-28 15:32
  • A brief return to 5.00% for the 30Y yield and the 10Y yield coming just shy of 4.50% has elicited a quick bid in Treasuries, currently at 4.991% and 4.487% respectively.
  • Treasuries are still close to recent session lows though in what’s been a light session for headlines.
  • TYU5 trades at 110-06 (-10+) having touched 110-03+, back at the lower end of yesterday’s range. Resistance is seen at 110-21+ (50-day EMA) before a key 110-23 (May 16 high) but the bear cycle remains in play with support at 109-12+ (May 22 low).
  • The earlier firming starting a little before 0900ET had coincided with a Navarro op-ed in The Hill that pushed back on the bond market reaction to Trump’s reconciliation bill, although had appeared more in keeping with a broader bid that saw further BTP outperformance (which has since been pared).
  • Some recent larger flow: TU (14.4k) suggested buyer followed more recently by TU (5k) suggested seller & FV(10k)/WN(2.4k) suggested steepener.
  • Quarterly roll is around 90% for most major benchmarks, including TY a little below.
  • Ahead sees a 5Y auction (1300ET) before the FOMC minutes (1400ET).
  • Yesterday’s 2Y auction was solid, trading through by 1bp. Last month’s 5Y traded through by 1bp and the bid-to-cover ticked up after what had previously been the lowest in nine auctions.
