US TSYS

Cash Treasury yields are a little higher to start the week, with some modest steepening in the curve as the short-end remains anchored.

  • Early moves fading Friday's bull flattening: 2-Yr yield is unchanged at 0.4537%, 5-Yr is up 0.8bps at 1.2041%, 10-Yr is up 2bps at 1.6519%, and 30-Yr is up 2.6bps at 2.094%.

  • With little on the macro /events calendar (pre-FOMC blackout period also means no Fed speakers), most attention is the White House / Congressional Democrats attempting to get through spending bills this week. House and Senate in session, negotiations ongoing.
  • A quiet day in terms of data, just Chicago Fed Nat'l Activity index (0830ET) and Dallas Fed manufacturing (1030ET).
