  • Treasuries looked to finish higher Monday (TYU5 +11.5 at 111-11), curves bull steepening (2s10s +2.645 at 49.176) as rates & stocks rallied on initially muted response by Iran to US bombing over the weekend.

The trend set-up in EURJPY remains bullish and today’s strong start to this week’s session, reinforces a bullish theme. The cross has recently cleared 166.69, the Oct 31 ‘24 high. This signals scope for an extension towards 170.47, a key Fibonacci retracement point. Note that the cross is overbought, a pullback would unwind this condition. Support to watch lies at 165.55, the 20-day EMA.
