US TSYS: Bear Steeper As Cash Trading Resumes
Aug-25 10:12
- Treasuries trade bear steeper with cash trading back underway after UK closures for the bank holiday.
- Friday’s Powell-enhanced steepening has been further extended, with the front end still broadly consolidating the dovish shift on Powell (albeit quite comfortably off highs) whilst 30s extend losses.
- Cash yields are 1-3.7bp higher, led by 20s and 30s.
- Monitoring monetary policy implications from Powell, 2Y yields are currently at 3.707% vs a post-Powell low of 3.673% and ~3.78% pre-Powell.
- 5s30s at 114.6bps easily sets fresh ytd highs having peaked at 112.9bp on Friday.
- TYU5 trades at 112-01+ (-3) on cumulative volumes already at 375k but with more than half of that seemingly from quarterly roll activity.
- Friday’s post-Powell high of 112-08 didn’t test resistance at a bull trigger of 112-15+ (Aug 5 high). Support is seen at 111-12 (50-day EMA).
- Today’s data is focused on regional Fed surveys and housing whilst President Trump comments are watched more broadly, including a meeting with The President Of Korea at the White House from midday ET. Fedspeak from Logan and Williams comes much later in the session.
