Steadily Richer Ahead Of Payrolls

US TSYS
  • Cash Treasuries trade firmer after Independence Day, steadily rallying since the Asia open with the front end pushing towards Wednesday’s highs and the longer end through respective highs.
  • Cash yields sit 2-3bp lower, led by the belly, whilst 2s10s at -34.6bps broadly consolidates Wednesday's flattening having previously lurched 23bp higher in the space of a week to -27.4bps
  • TYU4 has climbed to 110-04 to match Wednesday’s high, where it's met some resistance ahead of payrolls. Initial firm resistance is seen at 110-16 (Jun 28 high) but the bear threat is still present with support at 109-02+ (Jul 1 low) just above the key support at 109-00+ (Jun 10 low).
  • J.P.Morgan warn that Tsy yield reaction to NFP surprises during the July 4 week are around 90% larger than what is seen on a typical NFP Friday (based on historical data, assessing fixed magnitudes of surprise), best explained by liquidity impairment.
