  • 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. It’s a step closer to support at 114-31+ (Sep 12 low) but the trend needle points north with resistance at 115-23+ (Sep 11 high) and 115-31 (1.618 proj of Aug 8 – 21 – Sep 3 swing).
