US TSYS: Rates Rally After Core CPI Misses Estimates, First Cut Targets July

US TSYS
USBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsNorth America
  • Treasuries are trading near the top end of the session range after gapping higher this morning on slightly lower than expected Core & Supercore CPI data.
  • Across core categories, below-expected figures in the aggregates were reported: core goods (0.05% vs 0.12% expected, 0.31% prior) and core services (0.27% vs 0.30% expected, 0.28% prior) were each a touch under analyst expectations.
  • NY Fed’s Williams (permanent voter) said Treasury yields haven’t been driven by inflation expectations and that yields instead reflect economic strength and fiscal uncertainty. There have been somewhat mixed views of FOMC members on long end yield drivers recently.
  • Mar'25 10Y futures are trading at 108-09.5 (+30) after the bell vs. 107-16.5 pre-data, session high at 108-13, still below initial technical resistance at 108-17.5/109-06 (20-day EMA / High Dec 31). Curves Curves mixed however: 2s10s -3.416 at 38.723, 5s30s +5.544 at 43.118.
  • Projected rate cuts through mid-2025 moved forward on the calendar with July now fully pricing in a 25bp cut. Current vs. this morning levels* as follows: Jan'25 steady at -0.7bp, Mar'25 at -7.4bp (-4.9bp), May'25 -13.5bp (-10.3bp), Jun'25 -22.9bp (-17.7bp), Jul'25 at -27.2bp (-21.7bp).
  • Focus turns to a slew of data on Thursday: Weekly Jobless Claims, Retail Sales, Import/Export Indexes and regional Fed services and business outlooks all at 0830ET. Business Inventories and NAHB Housing Market Index at 1000ET. No scheduled Fed speakers as yet - Fed enters Blackout period Friday at midnight.
