Treasury Futures Unwind Post CPI/Retail Sales Rally, Curve Steeper

US TSYS

Treasury futures gradually traded lower throughout the Friday session, finishing the day at session lows and fully unwinding Wednesday's post-CPI/Retail Sales related rally. There was little data to trade off of Friday with just the Conference Board leading indicator, which fell by more than expected in April, -0.6% M/M (cons -0.3) after -0.3% in March.

  • Jun'24 10Y futures closed the session down (- 09+) at 109-06 and we have opened unchanged on Monday. Support now holds at 108-15 (Low May 14), while a break above 109-31+(May 16 high), would open up a move to 110-06+ (Apr 4 high)
