US TSYS: Real Yields Tumble On Growth Concerns

Jul-01 13:30
  • Growth concerns are particularly evident in real yields today, with 10Y real yields sliding 15bps to +51bps although still some 25bps higher than prior to the US CPI surprise on Jun 10 that helped push the FOMC to a 75bp hike.
  • With nominal yields sliding 12bps, the inflation breakeven has nudged 3bps higher but this counts as a stabilisation after sliding over the past month to pre-taper levels at 2.38%.
  • Focus will be on upcoming mfg surveys, with the final US PMI (Eurozone largely unrevised this morning) and then more importantly ISM at 1000ET. Regional Fed surveys and yesterday’s miss in the MNI Chicago PMI both implying downside risk to ISM consensus for a fall from 56.1 to 54.5.

FRANCE: Macron-Led Alliance Retakes Lead In Latest Legislative Election Poll

Jun-01 13:21

The latest opinion poll from Ifop ahead of the 12/19 June legislative election shows President Emmanuel Macron's centrist Ensemble! alliance retaking the lead from the leftist NUPES alliance.

  • Ensemble: 27 % (+1), NUPES: 25 % (-2), Rassembelement National (RN): 21 % (-2), Les Republicains and allies: 10 % (-1), Reconquest: 6 %, Miscellaneous left: 4 %.IFOP, 28/05/22. Chgs w/13-16 May,
  • Seat Projection: Ensemble: 275-310, NUPES: 170-205, LR & allies: 35-55, RN: 20-50, Reconquest: 1-4, Others: 8-15. IFOP, 28/05/22.
  • A total of 289 seats are required to command a majority in the National Assembly. This means that should Macron's bloc's seat total fall at the bottom end of their projection estimate it would be short of a majority and reliant on support from other parties.
  • The likelihood remains that the next gov't will be led by Ensemble, with the leftist NUPES (comprising Jean-Luc Melenchon's La France Insoumise, and the Communist, Green, and Socialist parties) unlikely to be able to pull together enough support from other representatives (who are all likely to come from the centre-right or right) to overtake Ensemble.
