FI Support Evaporates, Focus on Tue' CPI

US TSYS SUMMARY

Markets grew quiet over the last hour into the NY FI close, reversing opening levels w/ equities near session highs, Tsys mildly weaker after the bell. No data Monday,
focus on Tue' June CPI: MoM (0.6%, 0.5%); Ex Food and Energy MoM (0.7%, 0.4%).

  • Markets did have comments from NY Fed Williams and MN Fed Kashkari to digest. Williams' straightforward "view is the simplest, natural way is to first do a taper or finish that then think about liftoff." Kashkari sees current inflation metrics as transitory.
  • Mirroring EGBs, Tsys opened moderately firmer/off late overnight highs, support evaporating by midday. Sources reported carry-over selling in intermediates to long end from Asian real$ accts, pre-auction short sets ahead todays 3Y and 10Y R/O note auctions. US Tsy auction's $24B 30Y Bond re-open Tuesday.
