US TSYS: Geopol Gains Pared, Jobless Claims Offer Macro Focus

US TSYS
  • Treasuries have mostly retraced their earlier gains seen as geopolitical risk concerns flared after a Russia missile attack on Ukraine with potentially the first use of an ICBM.
  • The curve twist steepens, with cash yields between 1.5bp lower (3s) to 2bps higher (20s).
  • 20s see clear underperformance after yesterday’s weak auction with a large tail and surge in primary dealer take-up.
  • 2s10s meanwhile is little changed at 10bps, consolidating yesterday’s flattening.
  • TYZ4 has reverted to unchanged on the day at 109-22 from an earlier high of 109-28. Volumes are elevated at 680k but boosted by the quarterly roll, earlier than usual ahead of next week’s Thanksgiving holiday.
  • Resistance is seen at 110-08+ (20-day EMA) but bears remain in the driving seat with yesterday’s low at 109-14+ before support at 108-30 (Nov 15 low).
