Tsy Yield Curves Reverse Early Flattening
US TSYS
Tsys see-sawed in weaker range all session, near lows after the bell. Generally quiet end to the week: no react to Wholesale inventories (2.5%)/trade sales (1.7%) earlier. Two-way positioning/squaring up ahead the weekend, markets keeping wary eye on geopol headline risk re: Russia war in Ukraine, continued global sanctions.
