US TSYS: Treasuries Hold Range, Focus on Upcoming PPI & CPI Inflation Data
US TSYS
- Treasuries held to a narrow session range Monday amid decent volumes (TYH5 over 1.5M contracts despite Japan out on extended holiday) ahead of this week's PPI and CPI inflation data on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.
- Late session risk-on saw Tsys soften (TYH5 107-08, -4.5) while stocks climbed off lower lvls, SPX Eminis near steady, DJIA outperforming, Nasdaq weaker but well off lows, apparently reacting to chatter that an Israeli ceasefire-hostage deal may be reached by tomorrow.
- NY Fed consumer inflation expectations saw a mixed month for December, with the 1Y holding steady at 3.0%, the 3Y jumping 40bps to 3.0% and the 5Y falling 20bps to 2.7%. The 3Y measure is its highest since Nov 2023 and came amidst its highest uncertainty since May.
- Wednesday’s US CPI report headlines the weekly calendar, with Bloomberg consensus currently looking for a 0.2% M/M print for core CPI in what’s a close call with a 0.3% M/M. Indeed, our initial review of 13 unrounded analyst estimates sees these generally more detailed projections centered around 0.25% M/M for core CPI in December.
