  • Cash yields sit 2.9-3.7bp lower on the day, led by the belly. 2s10s at -47.4bps is unchanged, in the middle of yesterday’s range having pulled a little further away from Tuesday’s fresh ytd low of -49.5bps.
  • TYU4 has lifted to 110-23+ (+ 06) on decent cumulative volumes of 315k, probing yesterday’s snap high of 110-23 seen on the initial reaction to higher-than-expected jobless claims. A bull cycle remains in play with resistance at 111-01 (Jun 14 high) before 111-09 (Apr 1 high).
