Bear Flattening With ISM Services Eyed

US TSYS
  • Cash Tsys have cheapened after the Labor Day long weekend, with a sizeable retracement of the post-payrolls rally and larger moves at the long end. Minimal flattening on the session leaves 2s10s at -20.5bps, little changed from where it settled post-payrolls after a sizeable steepening from recent lows of circa -40bps. Attention on ISM services later after the preliminary S&P Global PMI slumped but the manufacturing ISM showed surprising resilience last week.
  • 2YY +5.4bps at 3.441%, 5YY +5.5bps at 3.348%, 10YY +4.2bps at 3.231%, 30YY +2.6bps at 3.370%.
  • TYZ2 trades at 116-09+, 11+ ticks lower from Friday’s close. A bearish focus remains after the recent breach of 117-11+ (Jul 21 low), with a bear trigger at 115-23 (Sep 1 low) whilst initial firm resistance is seen at 118-00 (Aug 26 high).
  • Data: ISM Services for Aug in focus plus finalised S&P Global PMIs for Aug.
  • Bill issuance: $54B 13-W, $42B 26-W, $34B 52-W
