Treasury Futures Edge Lower On Higher Flash PMIs

US TSYS
  • Treasuries finished Friday trading a touch weaker following mixed global PMI levels. Treasuries initially extended support after soft French, German and Eurozone composite flash PMIs during early London hours -- but gapped lower after slightly higher than expected US flash PMIs. TUU4 ended the session -0-00¼ at 102-06⅛, while TYU4 ended trading -0-01+ at 110-16, as trading kicks off on Monday we are a touch lower again.
  • A bull cycle in Treasuries remains in play. The recent consolidation appears to be a flag formation that reinforces the bullish theme. Support at 109-22+ (50-day EMA), a break here would open a move to 109-00+ (Jun 10 low), to the upside resistance lays at 111-01 (June 14 high) a break here would open a move to 111-09 (Apr 1 high)
