Free AccessUS TSYS: BIG ADP MISS HELPS PUT JUNE RATE CUT IN PLAY
US TSY SUMMARY: Choppy day for rates -- Tsys surged after much weaker than
expected private employ/ADP data (+27k). Equities enjoyed decent gains (ESM9
+22.0 in late trade); VIX weaker -.86 at 16.11. Tsy yld curves broadly steeper
while 3M10Y remains well inverted (-22.76).
- Mkts calmed down soon after ADP miss, while there was certainly heavy buying
(including Asia real$ in 10s), short covering/position squaring, stop outs on
way up, there was significant selling (including blocks) into the rally. Short
end well bid as mkt grows accustom to chance of 2-3 rate cuts by yr end.
- Trump Admin advisor Navarro said Mexico tariffs "may NOT go into effect" lent
to round of selling earlier. Late headlines incl Mexico will not accept "safe
third country status" contributed to round of risk-off trade. On tap for Thu:
May challenger layoff plans; weekly jobless claims; Apr trade balance; non-farm
productivity and unit labor costs; Q1 Service Revenue; May Treasury STRIPS and
Fed weekly securities holdings. The 2-Yr yield is down 4.5bps at 1.8389%, 5-Yr
is down 3.8bps at 1.8582%, 10-Yr is down 1.4bps at 2.1157%, and 30-Yr is up 2bps
at 2.6311%.
