Free AccessUS TSYS: QUIET RISK-ON UNWIND, DAL FED KAPLAN URGES PATIENCE
US TSY SUMMARY: Tsys well supported by the bell, more risk-on unwind than a
concerted risk-off move w/equities still hovering in positive territory late.
- Bull curve flattening on very light volume (TYU<865k by the bell), quiet start
to the week despite continued geo-pol concerns. Short end now pricing in appr
46% chance of 50bp rate cut at July 30-31 FOMC meet. Dallas Fed Pres Kaplan rged
policymakers to allow events to unfold before lowering interest rates, adding
it's too early to judge whether trade tensions and a global economic slowdown
will cause a material deterioration in the U.S. outlook.
- Rates extended session highs into midday, no specific driver for general
risk-on unwind tone. Light prop and fast$ selling into latest move. Yld curves
mostly/mildly steeper, exception is 3M10Y collapsing.
- Tsys receded briefly in late trade but rebounded on block buy 9,407 TUU at
107-21.62, likely swap related as front end spds neared inversion for the first
time ever.
- The 2-Yr yield is down 2.9bps at 1.7385%, 5-Yr is down 4bps at 1.7508%, 10-Yr
is down 3.5bps at 2.0194%, and 30-Yr is down 3.6bps at 2.5479%.
