Front end U.S. swap spread outperformance remains a feature after last week’s frontloaded Reserve Manage Purchases (RMP) announcement from the Fed.
- TD Securities have joined the list of sell-side names looking for an extension of this move, issuing a recommendation to enter 3s10s spread curve flatteners late on Monday.
- They anticipate improved funding conditions on the back of the Fed’s RMP announcement (driving further outperformance in the front end of the curve), as well as flagging an attractive relative value proposition (10s rich in ASWs and vs. the Tsy curve) and a positive carry profile.
