Shy Of Post-Fed Highs

US TSYS

T-Notes holding shy of Wednesday's session peak, with the contract last +0-01 at 139-25, holding to a 0-01 range in early Asia dealing.

  • A reminder that Wednesday's FOMC decision was light on details,
    with the softening of the economic rebound noted, $-swap lines
    extended through March '21 and little in the way of formal
    commitments re: the future evolution of monetary policy evident.
  • Wednesday saw T-Notes finish shy of best levels as the cash curve
    twist steepened on the day, pivoting around the belly. 5s touched
    fresh record lows in yield terms, trading through 0.25%, before
    closing back above that particular level.
  • Regional reaction to the Fed's rhetoric could set the tone in Asia-Pac
    hours, but given the lack of surprises dealt, we could be in for a
    limited round of overnight trade. The fiscal impasse on the Hill
    continues to draw attention.
