Recent Losses Across The Curve As FOMC Looms

US TSYS
  • Cash Tsys have seen a recent sell-off, with 2s still underperforming and extending session lows, or in yield terms +2.7bps as they probe 4.9%. The move appears to stem from cumulative flow rather than any particularly large blocks.
  • The long end remains more rangebound: TYU3 at 111-23+ is within session ranges albeit closer to yesterday’s low of 111-17+ and further support at 111-11 (61.8% retrace of Jul 7-18 rally). Volumes are unsurprisingly subdued ahead of the FOMC though, only just exceeding 700k.
  • FOMC-dated OIS implied rates have climbed through the session to more than reverse what had been small increases in cut pricing for 2024 and especially 2H24 meetings overnight.
  • Cumulative hikes from 5.08% effective: +25bp for the upcoming decision (+0.5bp), +30bp for Sep (+1bp), +36.5bp to 5.445% terminal in Nov (+1bp).
  • Cuts from Nov terminal: bp to Dec’23 (unch from yesterday), 56bp to Jun’24 (from 60bp).
