10Y Yields At Pre-Payrolls Levels On Climb In Real Yields

US TSYS
  • Treasuries have set new post-payrolls lows, especially at the longer-end, having paid little heed to dovish BoJ commentary overnight re Uchida not wanting to hike amidst volatile markets.
  • 2Y yields have met some resistance just above 4.02% (most recently topped out at 4.026%, ~4.12% pre-payrolls).
  • The front-end move coincides with Fed Funds futures trimming cut expectations further to 104bps by year-end, but not wanting to move beyond a very rough path of a potential 50bp cut in Sept before two 25bp cuts (albeit Sept down to 44bp).
  • TYU4 has seen session lows of 113-02+ (currently 113-04+) in another step closer to support at 112-21 (Aug 2 low).
  • In cash space, 10Y yields have returned to levels immediately before payrolls, whilst real yields at 1.81% are now 5-6bps higher.
  • Another thin docket today sees broader sentiment in the driving seat (Boston Fed’s Collins on the calendar but not expected to deliver remarks), before focus shifts to the $42bn 10Y auction after yesterday’s relatively well-received 3Y.
