US TSYS: Fed On Hold Thru 2022, Monthly Buy $80B Tsy/$40B MBS

US TSY SUMMARY: Fed on Hold/zero bound through 2022 -- Mkt focus on minimum
floor of asset purchases in Tsys ($80B/mnth) and MBS ($40B/mnth), no taper/not
quite QE, mkts rallied despite prospect of long slog ahead, Dot plot flat
through 2021.
- Both Tsys and equities regained footing after post data chop, Tsys extending
session highs by the bell, equities mildly weaker after see-sawing to session
highs. Yld curves broadly flatter for the most part, 5s30s managing to hold
1.229bp steeper at 118.39.
- Fed Chair Q&A on job losses -- cold water on equity bounce as Powell estimated
"well into the millions of people who don't get to go back to their old JOB and
there may not a job for them for some time." On the flipside, economic
"forecasters widely expect 2nd half recovery.
- Eurodollar and Tsy put buying remained robust, fading the continued surge in
underlying futures.
- The 2-Yr yield is down 3.2bps at 0.1707%, 5-Yr is down 8.1bps at 0.3198%,
10-Yr is down 9.2bps at 0.7329%, and 30-Yr is down 6.8bps at 1.5076%.
TECHNICALS:
US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (U0) Correction Extends 
*RES 4: 139-25   Contract high, Mar 25
*RES 3: 139-13+/16  High May 15 / High Apr 21 and key resistance
*RES 2: 138-12   High Jun 4
*RES 1: 138-08+ 61.8% of the Jun 1 - 5 sell-off 
*PRICE: 138-00 @ 11:50 BST, Jun 10
*SUP 1: 137-10+ Low Jun 9 
*SUP 2: 136-22   Low Jun 5
*SUP 3: 136-20   Low Mar 25
*SUP 4: 136-10+2.000 projection of Apr 21 - May 6 swing from May 15 high
US 10yr futures continue to recover off recent lows having defined a key S/T
support at 136-22, Jun 5 low. The move higher is likely a correction though with
a bearish theme still dominating the S/T outlook. This follows last week's move
lower and importantly the break of support at 137-30+, May 6 low that confirmed
a range breakout. The focus is on 136-20, Mar 25 low and, further out, the COVID
crisis lows of 133-21. Next resistance is at 138-08+.
AUSSIE 10-YR TECHS: (U0) Bulls Untroubled For Now
*RES 3: 99.4850 - High Mar 10 and bull trigger
*RES 2: 99.3600 - High Apr 01 
*RES 1: 99.2250 - High Apr 17 
*PRICE: 98.9950 @ 18:15 BST, Jun 10
*SUP 1: 98.7800 - Low Mar 23 
*SUP 2: 98.7210 - 61.8% March Sell-off
*SUP 3: 98.5700 - Low Mar 20 
Aussie 10yr futures progressed further Wednesday, which firms the bounce from
the Jun08 low. Key resistance is located at 99.2250, the Apr 17 high. Clearance
of this level would instead be bullish. To the downside, having taken out key
support at 99.0200, the Apr 9 low, bears now target late March lows at 98.90 and
the Fib support at 98.7210.
JGB TECHS: (U0): Bouncing, But Weak 
*RES 3: 154.56 - High Mar 13 
*RES 2: 153.50 - High Mar 16
*RES 1: 153.06 - High Mar 31 and key resistance
*PRICE: 151.95 @ 18:24 BST, Jun 10
*SUP 1: 151.06 - Low Mar 24
*SUP 2: 150.61 - Low Mar 19 and key support
*SUP 3: 150.46 - 1.0% 10-dma envelope
JGB took another leg lower amid a global bond sell-off Friday, exposing levels
not seen since March. The range breakout works in favour of bears, with 50% Fib
retracement giving way in the process. Key supports are few and far between
until 151.06, but more importantly 150.61, which marks the March sell-off low.
TSY FUTURES CLOSE: Futures receding after extending session highs just after the
closing bell, average volumes (TYU>1.2M), yld curves mostly flatter/off lows.
