Record High For 10Y Breakeven

US
  • The 10Y breakeven has surged 8.5bps today to a new record high of 3.03% (above the Mar 24 high) as today’s sell-off in nominal bonds comes with little change in real yield space.
  • If there’s a silver lining for the Fed it’s that it has been led by the 5Y up more than 13bps, meaning the 5Y5Y forward breakeven dip slightly to 2.54%.
  • However, separate 5Y5Y inflation swaps have firmed back towards cycle highs at 2.83% and sit 20bps above where they were when Powell first indicated the shift towards hiking expeditiously.
  • The acceleration in market-based measures has yet to show up in surveys but could be particularly impactful if it does.
