The recent reversal in Treasury futures was partially erased Wednesday on the back of the soft US CPI print, keeping markets cognizant of the underlying bullish theme for Treasury prices. Key short-term resistance remains 111-14+, a Fibonacci retracement and the Jun 5 high. Clearance of this hurdle would be bullish. First resistance at the 110-19+ 50-day EMA has been pierced. Any extension lower would expose support at 109-26, the May 29 low, where a break would open key support and the bear trigger, at 109-12+, the May 22 low.
