US TSYS
USGlobalBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsRegionNorth America

  • The Dec'24 10Y contract is has fallen to 110-30.5 - matching the midweek low as it traded through 200-dma technical support of 111-04. The next significant support is at 110-13 (61.8% retracement of the Apr - Sep bull cycle (cont)). 10Y yield has climbed to 4.2419 +.0302. Curves modestly steeper: 2s10s +.639 at 13.520, 5s30s +.403 at 44.246.

  • Mixed data included better than expected Durable goods orders, with both headline and core orders beating expectations in the preliminary September release and a downward revision to Aug being confined to volatile items.

  • U.Mich consumer sentiment was stronger than expected in October as it was revised up to 70.5 (prelim 68.9) for a small increase from 70.1 in September.
