US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: Treasuries traded mixed Friday with wide swings as mixed data
on balance nudged odds of a Fed cut next week a little lower.
- Forecasts for a June 19 hike dipped from 28% Thursday to below 20% post-retail
sales and industrial production data today (those boosted dealers` Q2 GDP
estimates closer to 2%, near/above Fed's L-T potential est.).
- Catalysed by all-time lows in UMich inflation exp., odds then recovered to
24.2%, slightly lower than last week's close (25%, per CME FedWatch).
- Decent volumes across the board in Tsy futures (TY>1.3mln as of 1500ET),
though action petered out later in the afternoon.
- A bit of bear flattening in the curve, with the short-end weaker. The 2-Yr
yield is up 1.1bps at 1.8467%, 5-Yr is up 0.6bps at 1.8441%, 10-Yr is down
0.4bps at 2.0908%, and 30-Yr is down 0.7bps at 2.5929%.
- With Friday`s data behind us, all that is left is lesser data (Empire
Manufacturing, Housing Starts) prior to the FOMC decision next Wednesday.
- Early next week MNI will provide our usual full FOMC preview including 20+
sell-side analysts' takes on the decision.
