  • Of note, the control group beat expectations with +0.8% M/M (cons 0.6%) after +0.7% M/M (revised -0.1pp), a small beat considering the volatility in these nominal measures amidst such elevated inflation.
  • Front end Treasuries reacted by cheapening 2.5bps before quickly reversing the move, mirroring fleeting reactions across the curve to leave 2s10s relatively little changed on the day with 2YY +7.5bps and 10YY +8bps on already large moves in the lead up to the release.
