  • Cash yields are mostly~1.5bp higher across the curve, with 2Y yields earlier touching 3.621% for highs since Thursday's dovish Fed "close call" WSJ/FT articles.
  • 2s10s is within recent ranges and remains in positive territory at 4.7bps - Monday’s high of 10.4bps remains the highest since mid-2022.
  • TYZ4 at 115-07 (- 05) is close to the day’s low of 115-05+ albeit on light cumulative volumes of 225k ahead of the Fed.
