U.Mich Helps A Mild Move Off Latest Lows, 10s Holding 4.3%

US TSYS
  • Cash Tsys trade twist flatter on the day, with 3s still leading the sell-off (+3.7bps) and only 30s rallying (-0.7bps).
  • Losses extended after non-oil import price data showed some additional inflationary pressure at the margin after the week’s stronger CPI and PPI releases, although pared some of those lows with a slightly softer than expected U.Mich survey.
  • Further BoJ headlines, this time Nikkei explicitly seeing the BoJ guiding the short-term rate to 0-0.1% had little impact after already contributing to sell-offs this week, especially JiJi’s piece after PPI yesterday.
  • 10Y yields currently hover at ~4.30% having earlier touched 4.3182% in another step closer to YtD highs of 4.3486%. They started the week at 4.08%.
  • Similarly, TYM4 at 110-02+ is off earlier lows of 109-31 vs the bear trigger at 109-25+ (Feb 23 low). Volumes of 1.4m at typing have faded compared to recent sessions.
  • At the very front end and ahead of next week’s FOMC, Fed Funds implied rates are back consistent with the December dot plot with 74bp of cuts for the year. Near-term cumulative cuts: 0.5bp Mar, 3bp May, 16bp Jun and 27bp Jul.
