US TSYS: Slowly Paring CPI Losses, PPI and Claims Ahead

US TSYS
  • Treasuries have seen a marginal bid on Trump talking about reciprocal tariffs coming today (had already been growing expectation there could be an announcement with Executive Orders at 1pm ET) along with a good possibility of ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
  • It’s limited though, with the front-end still within session ranges whilst the longer end briefly pushed to fresh highs to pare around half of yesterday’s CPI-induced losses. Most of the day’s move came earlier in Asia hours.  
  • Cash yields are 2-3bp lower, with declines led by 30s despite today’s 30Y supply and yesterday’s 10Y seeing a 1bp tail.  
  • TYH5 has lifted to 108-16+ (08) on modest volumes of 345k, taking it further away from the post-CPI low of 108-04.
  • Yesterday’s low cleared support to open 108-00 (Jan 16 low) after which lies the bear trigger 107-06 (Jan 13 low). To the upside, in case of any dovish cues from PPI or jobless claims, resistance at 109-08+ (50-day EMA).
  • JPM late yesterday recommended adding tactical longs in 2Y Treasuries, with the front end offering value “especially with 2-year yields now bumping up against the top of what has been a very well entrenched range”. The biggest risk is from labor market strength but the next employment reading is three weeks away.
  • Data: PPI Jan, incl annual revisions (0830ET), Weekly jobless claims (0830ET)
  • Fedspeak: None scheduled
  • Coupon issuance: US Tsy $25B 30Y Bond auction - 912810UH9 (1300ET)
  • Bill issuance: US Tsy $90B 4W, $85B 8W Bill auctions (1130ET)
