Lower On GDP & Weekly Claims
US TSYS
Initial market reaction to the U.S. data leans a little hawkish, with the lack of further deterioration in the labour market (given the Fed’s increased focus on that side of its mandate) and firmer-than-expected second reading of Q2 GDP data weighing on Tsys.
- Still ranges remain contained, with the mark lower in Q2 core PCE data a potential limiting factor.
- TYZ4 trades to fresh session lows at 113-28+ but holds above Tuesday’s low (113-27).
- Yields now 1-2bp higher on the day.
- SOFR futures also move to fresh session lows on the data before stabilising.
- The degree of easing priced into ’24 Fed will also be factoring into the post-data move.
- Fed funds futures continue to price over 30bp of cuts for the Sep FOMC, we will provide deeper colour on Fed pricing shortly.
