Cheaper On UK CPI But TY Recent Lows Intact
US TSYS
- Treasuries maintain the sell-off seen after less moderation than expected in UK CPI inflation, although the long-end remains above the week’s lows to consolidate yesterday’s flattening.
- Cash yields sit 2-4bps higher on the day, led by 3s. 2s10s little changed at -42bps (-0.5bp).
- TYM4 trades at 109-00+ (- 07) on solid volumes a little above 300k. The week’s low at 108-30+ provides tentative support before a more meaningful 108-29 (20-day EMA) and a key 108-15 (May 14 low).
- A TU/FV/UXY fly block provided the most meaningful pre-NY flow, looking for an extension of the recent 5-Year richening on that structure (representing a similar trade to London flow seen in late April).
- The FOMC minutes headline today’s session but existing home sales could be of note with asymmetrical risk to market reaction from a downside surprise, before the 20Y auction after two successive strong sales.
- Data: MBA mortgage report May 17 (0700ET), Existing home sales Apr (1000ET)
