Treasuries Rally After 2YY Approaching 5% Attracts Demand
US TSYS
- Treasuries have rallied with outright yield levels attracting demand after 2s drifted back towards 5% after hotter than expected UK CPI (they topped out at 5.006% yesterday).
- It sees 2Y yields currently back at 4.956% (-3.1bp) with yields down 1-3.5bps across the curve. The long end lags, perhaps aided by 20Y supply later on and after a strong steepening earlier in the week with 2s10s still at -31bps.
- TYM4 trades at 107-25 (+ 03+) after another overnight session with heavy volumes, summing to 455k at typing.
- Bears remain in the driver’s seat with support at yesterday’s fresh low of 107-13+ after which lies 107-07+ (Fibo projections).
