US TSYS: Risk Knows No Fear

US TSY SUMMARY: Ignoring ongoing violent protests across the US and abroad, risk
tone held firm with rates trading weaker all session, equities firmer/upper half
of the range (ESM0 +5.0) in late trade.
- Long end made several attempts to pare losses on day while yld curves
continued to forge steeper (5s30s nearing 3 year highs tapped mid-March).
- Swap spds ratchet tighter, session lows by the closing bell, short end leading
move w/5s and 30s not for behind. Incoming supply and tighter FRA/OIS basis
weighing. 5Y bucked move into the open amid some rate paying and receivers out
the curve ahead the open.
- Financial names securing funding helped push high grade debt issuance over
$17.5B on day (>$35B/wk).
- Overall volumes remained below average, however, with many participants close
to the sidelines ahead ADP private employ data early Wed (-9.000M est); NFP Fri
(-8.000M est) while May unemployment rate estimate nears 20%.
- The 2-Yr yield is up 1bps at 0.1663%, 5-Yr is up 1.4bps at 0.3195%, 10-Yr is
up 2.1bps at 0.6803%, and 30-Yr is up 2.6bps at 1.4766%.
TECHNICALS:
US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (U0) Sideways
*RES 4: 140-27   0.618 projection of Feb 6 - Mar 9 rally from Mar 18 low
*RES 3: 140-00   Round number resistance 
*RES 2: 139-25   Contract high, Mar 25
*RES 1: 139-13+/16  High May 15 / High Apr 21 and key resistance  
*PRICE: 138-28+ @ 11:21 BST, Jun 02
*SUP 1: 138-09   Low May 18
*SUP 2: 137-30+ Low May 6 and key support
*SUP 3: 137-19+ Low Apr 14
*SUP 4: 136-20   Low Mar 25
10yr futures are softer so far this week, but key supports remain intact for
now. The range parameters are 139-16 at the top and 137-30+ at the base. The
underlying theme remains bullish, however futures still need to clear 139-16,
Apr 21 high to end the current sideways move and confirm a resumption of the
uptrend to target 139-25, the Mar 25 contract high and the 140-00 handle.
Clearance of 137-30+, May 6 low would be bearish and expose 137-19+.
AUSSIE 3-YR TECHS: (U0) Softer Within The Range 
*RES 3: 100.000 - Handle Psychological Resistance
*RES 3: 99.840 - Range projection on a break of 99.780
*RES 1: 99.780 - High Apr 01 and bull trigger 
*PRICE: 99.720 @ 16:29 BST Jun 02
*SUP 1: 99.715 - Low Jun 02
*SUP 2: 99.645 - Low Mar 20
*SUP 3: 99.565 - 100-dma
The short-end of the Aussie bond market has pulled back from recent highs. The
contract continues to trade within a range that has been in place since peaking
at 99.780 on Apr 1. A break of this resistance is required to confirm a
resumption of the broader uptrend and open 99.840, the range projection and the
100.00 psychological level further out. The base of the range at 99.720, low Apr
14/15 and marks the key near-term support.
AUSSIE 10-YR TECHS: (U0) Key Supports Remain Intact
*RES 3: 99.4850 - High Mar 10 and bull trigger
*RES 2: 99.3600 - High Apr 01 
*RES 1: 99.2250 - High Apr 17 
*PRICE: 99.0450 @ 16:30 BST, Jun 02
*SUP 1: 99.0200 - Low Apr 9
*SUP 2: 98.7800 - Low Mar 23 
*SUP 3: 98.5700 - Low Mar 20 
The roll pressured prices further Tuesday, but key support remains intact at
99.0200, Apr 9 low where a break is still required to confirm a near-term
bearish outlook. The lower peaks since Apr 2 suggest futures are likely to break
the support eventually. This would open 98.7800 initially, Mar 23 low. On the
upside, key resistance is located at 99.2250, the Apr 17 high. Clearance of this
level would instead be bullish.
JGB TECHS: (U0): Shallow Bounce
*RES 3: 154.56 - High Mar 13 
*RES 2: 153.50 - High Mar 16
*RES 1: 153.06 - High Mar 31 and key resistance
*PRICE: 152.16 @ 16:32 BST, Jun 02
*SUP 1: 151.99 - Low Apr 20
*SUP 2: 151.86 - Low Apr 9
*SUP 3: 151.59 - Low Mar 26
JGB futures extended recent weakness Monday, keeping focus on recent support at
152.15/16 and a fall through here will damage the outlook. A break if seen,
would concern bulls and expose the 152.00 handle and support at 151.86, Apr 9
low. An ability to hold above supports and more importantly a break of 153.06,
Mar 31 high is required to confirm a bullish cycle and allow for a recovery
towards 153.30, Mar 16 high.

bell, yld curves steeper but off first half highs (5s30s nearing 3 year highs
