Consolidating Prior Steepening Ahead Of GDP/PCE Data

US TSYS
  • Cash Tsy yields sit 0.5bp lower to 0.5bp higher on the day as markets await key US data, plus further supply with the 7Y after yesterday's modest tail for the 5Y.
  • It consolidates yesterday’s bear steepening, with 2s10s at -27.7bps after -27.1bp yesterday marked the steepest since January.
  • TYM4 has kept to a narrow range on subdued volumes of 220k. The bear trend remains in place. At 107-26+ (+ 03), it’s off yesterday’s low of 107-20 whilst support is seen at 107-13+ (Apr 16 low).
  • Overnight flow has seen another TU/FV/UXY fly trade, selling the wings & buying the belly, after a similar structure during pre-NY trade yesterday. With the 2s5s10s cash butterfly continuing to see 5s trading close to the cheapest levels since Oct '23, the block looks to fade that move.
  • Data: GDP/PCE Q1 advance (0830ET), Weekly jobless claims (0830ET), Adv Goods trade balance Mar (0830ET), Retail and wholesale inventories Mar/Mar prelim (0830ET), Pending home sales Mar (1000ET), Kansas City Fed mfg Apr (1100ET).
