US TSYS: Low Volumes With Markets On Headline Watch
US TSYS
- Treasuries have pulled back from highs seen in the shortened session after a Japan holiday but remain firmer on the day, bull steepening as odds of a 50bp cut from the Fed on Wednesday has pushed higher.
- Cash yields are 0.5-2bps lower on the day, with declines unsurprisingly led by 2s against this backdrop.
- 2s10s sits at 8.6bps (+1.3bps) having earlier broadly matched Friday’s fresh ytd high of 9.6bps for the steepest since mid-2022.
- TYZ4 is back unchanged 115-13+ but has remained within Friday’s range throughout, holding below a high of 115-18+ on particularly low volumes of 220k ahead of a quiet docket and markets instead on headline watch.
- Resistance is seen at 115-23+ (Sep 11 high) with the trend needle continuing to point north.
