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.

OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - EUROSTOXX50 Futures Bull Cycle Still In Play

Aug-25 10:11
  • In the equity space, the dominant uptrend in S&P E-Minis remains intact and Friday’s rally reinforces current conditions. Attention is on 6508.75, the Aug 15 high and the bull trigger. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and open 6523.63, a 1.764 projection of the May 23 - Jun 11 - 23 price swing. Support to watch lies at  6298.61, the 50-day EMA.
  • The trend set-up in EUROSTOXX 50 futures is bullish and the contract traded to a fresh short-term cycle high last week. The recent print above the May and July highs strengthens a bull theme and opens 5575.00, the Mar 3 high (cont) and key resistance. Support to watch lies at 5370.47, the 50-day EMA.
