Modest Weakness, With FOMC In Mind

US TSYS SUMMARY

Overnight trade has been light and perhaps a bit defensive Monday as we await data and the Fed meeting later in the week.

  • Liquidity was thinned in Asia-Pac trading with several Asian markets closed for holiday (TYU1 <150k traded), and there were few if any catalysts for movement in the European session.
  • Sep 10-Yr futures (TY) steady at at 132-27 (L: 132-25.5 / H: 132-29.5).
  • Curve is mixed: the 2-Yr yield is up 0.4bps at 0.151%, 5-Yr is up 1.1bps at 0.75%, 10-Yr is up 0.8bps at 1.4602%, and 30-Yr is up 0.9bps at 2.1469%.
  • The only item on the calendar is 3-/6-M bill auction at 1130ET (combined $111B).
  • NY Fed to buy ~$12.425B of 0-2.25Y Tsys.
  • MNI's FOMC preview will be published later today.
