US TSYS: Friday’s Late Rally Reversed, Fedspeak In Focus Today

US TSYS
  • Treasuries have traded in relatively narrow ranges ever since opening lower following further tariff threats from President-elect Trump over the weekend, this time proposing 100% tariffs on BRICS countries.
  • The move on the day is also exaggerated by the late rally into the early close on Friday in post-Thanksgiving thinned trade, a move that has mostly been fully pared (30s being the exception with their outperformance on the day).  
  • Cash yields are 2-4.5bp higher, with 5s leading the increases and 30s lagging.  
  • TYH5 is at 111-03 (-03), towards the middle of the day’s range and well within Friday’s range, on average volumes a little over 300k.
  • Resistance remains exposed, with Friday’s high of 111-08 before 111-13+ (50-day EMA). Further gains here can test the corrective nature of prior increases.
  • Data: S&P Global US mfg Nov f (0945ET), ISM mfg Nov (1000ET), Construction spending Oct (1000ET)
  • Fedspeak: Waller keynote speech and Q&A (1515ET), Williams keynote remarks and Q&A (1630ET)
  • Bill issuance: US Tsy $81B 13W & $72B 26W bill auctions (1130ET)
