Long End Notably Doesn't Participate In Rally

US TSYS

A notable Tsy curve twist steepening after the WSJ Fed article which implied a more dovish near-term Fed outlook came out. It is interesting to see the long end unresponsive as 2s rally - 30s have seen a mild yield rise, driven by 30Y inflation breakevens, with real yields falling.

  • Perhaps this is a sign that the Fed taking its foot off the accelerator is unwelcomed by the long end due to increasing inflation risk premia.
  • 2s30s (which we highlighted earlier in the session) is set for one of its biggest steepening days of the last decade, and the biggest since March 17th 2020. See chart.
