Tsys Extend Highs Amid Ongoing French Political Uncertainty

US TSYS
  • Treasuries are higher, taking cues from EGBs again amid ongoing political uncertainty in France after Pres Macron announced a snap election in the aftermath of last Sunday's EU parliamentary elections. Weaker stocks weighed by European banks adding to the bid in rates.
  • Heavy Treasury futures volumes (TYU4>670k), as the Sep'24 10Y contract currently trades +7 at 110-30 vs. 110-31 high. Technical resistance at 111-09 (April 1 high) followed by 111-17.5 (1.236 projection of the Apr 25-May 16-29 price swing).
  • On the flipside, support holds at 109-17.5/109-00.5 (50-day EMA / Low Jun 10 and key support).
  • Cash yields are running mildly lower: 5s -.0337 at 4.2103, 10s -.0368 at 4.2074%, 30s -.0403 at 4.3561%, while curves look flatter: 2s10s -1.463 at -46.942, 5s30s -0.481 at 14.578.
  • This morning's data calendar includes Import/Export price index at 0830ET, followed by UofM Sentiment/inflation expectations at 1000ET.
