US TSYS

  • Tsy futures fully recover from Monday's post-Chair Powell sell-off to near late Friday levels, Dec'24 10Y futures climbing to 114-22.5 (+13.5), 114-21.5 last; 10Y yield -.0399 at 3.7410. Initial technical resistance at 115-02.5 (Sep 19 high) followed by 115-23.5 (Sep 11 high and bull trigger).
  • Curves retain much of Monday's flattening, however, 2s10s -1.529 at 12.250 after climbing over 19.68 yesterday as projected rate cuts into year end consolidated after Fed Chairman Powell walked back post FOMC pace of rate cuts comments that spurred heavy selling in short end rates Monday. Projected cuts for December less than 75bp at the moment.
