Post-July FOMC Minutes React, Short End Bounce

US TSYS

  • Lead quarterly Eurodollar futures EDU2 gap +0.0325 from 96.62 to 96.6525 after the release as market expectations of more than 50bp hike at Sep 21 cool (despite there being ample time and data between now and then).
  • Yield curves bending steeper: 2s10s gapped to session high of -39.719 but have receded in last couple minutes to -41.574 +4.587.
