Firmly Steeper With Higher Trump Odds On Sizeable Volumes

US TSYS
  • Treasuries have seen a mixed overnight session, initially paring early losses seen with the late open (Japanese holiday), aided by EGBs, before coming under pressure as US desks filter in.
  • The front-end is back at similar levels to Friday’s highs after the initial reaction to the PPI beats was more than offset by more dovish PCE implications.
  • The long end meanwhile holds a firmly net cheaper impetus after former President Trump’s odds of election victory have stepped higher after the assassination attempt at the weekend.
  • Cash yields sit between 0.5bp lower (2s) and 6bps higher (30s).
  • 2s10s (-22bps) and 5s30s (33.5bps) have hit multi-month highs although remain within ytd highs, whilst 2s30s has received particular attention at +0.9bps as it disinverts for the first time since February. Thursday’s large 2.1bp tail for the 30Y helps further set the tone here.
  • TYU4 at 111-00+ (-05+) has pared an earlier climb to 111-04+ on strong volumes of 450k, remaining within Friday’s range. The bull cycle remains in play with initial resistance at Friday's 111-08+ after which lies 111-13 (Mar 25 high).
  • Ahead, Fed Chair Powell's Rubenstein interview is firmly in focus for his last appearance before the FOMC blackout.
  • Data: Empire Fed mfg Jul (0830ET)
