Reversing Some Post-FOMC Steepening

US TSYS

The Treasury curve is bull flattening, reversing some of Thursday's FOMC-related bear steepening.

  • Immediate attention is on the Bank of England decision (0800ET), while payrolls Friday is the next key US focal point.
  • The 2-Yr yield is down 0.4bps at 0.462%, 5-Yr is down 2.4bps at 1.1638%, 10-Yr is down 3.2bps at 1.5718%, and 30-Yr is down 2.7bps at 1.9937%.
  • Dec 10-Yr futures (TY) up 2/32 at 130-26.5 (L: 130-18 / H: 130-28.5).
  • Equity futures pointing to fresh all-time highs, while the dollar is stronger.
  • A few more labor market clues ahead of Friday's nonfarm payrolls: 0730ET is Challenger Job Cuts, with jobless claims and unit labor costs at 0830ET (as well as trade balance data).
  • House of Reps could vote today on infra and social spending bills, though unclear.
  • In supply: $35B in 4-/8-week bills at 1130ET. Prior to that, a pair of NY Fed purchase operations: $6.025B of 4.5-7Y Tsys at 1030ET, and $1.425B of 10-22.5Y Tsys at 1120ET.
