Jun 1 Dated T-Bill Yields Swing Back Lower With Debt Talk Progress

US
  • Today’s general tone of some progress towards a debt deal plus Treasury offering sizeable issuance for settlement on the possible “x-date” of Jun 1 has seen Jun 1 T-bill yields swing back to 5.5% having fleetingly touched 7% yesterday and a high of 6.9% today.
  • Earlier auction details showed an increase of $6B for the 3-month and $2B for the 6-month vs their last auctions, with those plus the $50B long-ish dated cash management bill (161 days) all settling on the possible "x-date" of June 1. Those sizes were all on the high end of (admittedly highly uncertain) expectations.
  • Meanwhile in politics, Reuters earlier reported Biden-McCarthy as edging close to a deal on the U.S. debt ceiling, with the parties just $70 billion apart on discretionary spending..." whilst GOP debt negotiator Graves said a deal by Jun 1 is a “top priority” and then subsequently that have made a little bit of progress but still with “a lot of more to do”.
