US TSYS: Bear Flatter With A Light Docket Ahead Of The Fed
May-07 10:57
Treasuries trade bear flatter, with the front end paring some of yesterday’s gains as investors favor pricing a next 25bp cut in July and for now don't want to price in that much more than 75bp of cuts for 2025 as a whole.
Risk sentiment was supported on early headlines of US-China trade talks scheduled in Switzerland for later this week. This was followed by PBoC easing but US equity futures and Tsy yields are subsequently off session highs.
Cash yields are 0-3bp higher on the day, with increases led by 3s whilst 20s and 30s lag.
5s30s at 88bps is firmly off cycle highs of 100bps from May 1.
TYM5 trades at 111-08+ (-01+) for close to yesterday’s highs of 111-12+, on another subdued overnight session with volumes at 230k despite no Japan holiday today.
It hasn’t troubled resistance at 112-01+ (May 2 high) and the contract still trades close to recent lows, undermining the recent bull cycle. Support is seen at 110-27+ (May 6 low).
