Treasuries Slip Sharply as Fed to Let SLR Expire as Planned

FED
  • US 10y futures fell sharply, slipping to new session lows of 131-01 as the Fed confirm that they are to let their SLR facility expire on March 31st as planned.
  • Confirmation of the expiry runs against some market expectations of a policy extension, prompting weakness in Treasuries and a move back above 1.70% in the 10y yield.
  • Much of the initial move has now been pared, with yields retreating back toward 1.70% after trading as high as 1.7387%.
  • The USD rallied as yields rose but - mimicking the price action in fixed income markets - have pared much of the initial spike higher.
