  • 1Y inflation expectations: 3.24% in October after 3.38% in Sept, back close to the 3.20% in Aug.
  • They remain below the recent peak of 3.6% in April with the announcement of reciprocal tariffs although are a little elevated compared to the 3.0% seen shortly before that.
  • 3Y inflation expectations: Near unchanged at 3.00% after 3.05% in Sept, falling back to the 3.00% that it’s seen in seven of the latest nine months now.
  • 5Y inflation expectations: Essentially unchanged at 3.00% after 2.97% in Sept and 2.93% in Aug.  
  • A reminder that these metrics within the NY Fed survey have shown much less of a surge in inflation expectations under the Trump administration than has been the case with its U.Mich counterpart.

US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (Z5) Finding Support Below The 50-Day EMA

Oct-08 16:01
  • RES 4: 114-10   High Apr 7 (cont.)
  • RES 3: 114-00   Round number resistance
  • RES 2: 113-12/29 High Sep 18 / High Sep 11 and the bull trigger 
  • RES 1: 113-00   High Sep 24 
  • PRICE:‌‌ 112-21+ @ 16:57 BST Oct 8
  • SUP 1: 112-12+/01 50-day EMA / 50.0% of Jul 15 - Sep 11 upleg   
  • SUP 2: 111-26   Low Aug 26
  • SUP 3: 111-13+ Low Aug 18 and a key support  
  • SUP 4: 111-01+ 76.4% retracement of the Jul 15 - Sep 11 bull phase  

Treasuries continue to find support just below the 50-day EMA, currently at 112-12+. The trend structure remains bullish and recent weakness is considered corrective. A clear break of the 50-day EMA is required to undermine the trend and this would expose 111-13+, the Aug 18 low and a key support. On the upside, initial firm resistance to watch is 113-00, the Sep 24 high. A break would be bullish.
