2s & 5s See Comprehensive Break Of Late Mar Lows, 10s More Hesitant

US TSYS

The curve bull steepens in the wake of the unequivocally soft CPI reading and previously covered dovish Fed repricing, leaving yields 7.5-12.5bp softer on the day.

  • 2-Year yields have broken comfortably below their late March lows (flagged yesterday), showing sub-4.50%, switching bond bulls’ focus to the Mar 8 low (4.4046%).
  • 5s see a similar move, while 10s are more hesitant to follow through after breaching their own late March low.
  • 30s sit 7bp above their June low.
