US TSYS: Modest Consolidation Ahead October CPI Data
US TSYS
- Treasury futures are looking mixed at the moment, see-sawing off overnight lows as markets await this morning's October CPI data at 0830ET (as well as Real Avg Hourly/Weekly Earnings). Curves are scaling back from Tuesday's steepening (2s10s -1.990 at 6.329; 5s30s -.781 at 24.420).
- Dec'24 10Y futures see modest bid at the moment, TYZ4 +2.5 at 109-16 vs. 109-09 low - near initial technical support of 109-07 (Nov 6 low and bear trigger), average volumes (TYZ4 >320k), 10Y yield -.0157 at 4.4118%.
- Analyst forecasts for October's CPI report show a central expectation that sequential inflation will come in relatively steady compared with September. The MNI consensus for core CPI is 0.30% M/M (median) / 0.29% (mean) unrounded, vs 0.31% prior, while headline is seen at 0.20% M/M (median) / 0.21% (mean), vs 0.18% in September. These are in line with BBG consensus medians, and as suggested by the means, there is a slight downside bias to core.
