NATGAS: Norway Gas Outages Continue Through October

• MNI: US MBA: MARKET COMPOSITE +29.7% SA THRU SEP 12 WK

Another EUR Exchange traded Option, just another way to express a view:

• EURUSD (3rd Oct) 1.1900p, sold at 0.0076 in ~3.9k.

Note that the underlying is higher than the spot, 1.1902 at present.

• Treasuries sit modestly bull flatter ahead of today’s FOMC decision and Summary of Economic Projections including a closely watched dot plot.
• Some softness in equity and crude oil futures likely feeds into the day’s rally, aided by the FT reporting that "China tells its tech companies to stop buying all of Nvidia's AI chips".
• EGBs see similarly broadly similar momentum whilst yesterday’s solid UST 20Y auction drew little reaction at the time but won’t be hindering the flattening seen in London hours.
• Cash yields are 0.5-2.5bp lower on the day.
• 10Y yields at 4.013% (-1.5bp) are off an earlier low of 4.0012% that eyed the first sub-4% since brief visits on Sep 11 and early April around reciprocal tariff announcements.
• TYZ5 trades at 113-19 (+02) off an earlier high of 113-21+ on another overnight session with thin volumes at 180k.
• Today’s modest gains mark the latest step back closer to resistance at 113-29 (Sep 11 high), as part of the bull mode condition. Further resistance is seen nearby at the round 114-00 whilst support is seen at 112-28 (20-day EMA).
