- 10yr Dec'24 futures remain in a bearish trend with last week’s move lower reinforces the downtrend and the contract is trading closer to its recent lows. A resumption of the bear leg would open 109-05 next, the 76.4% retracement of the Apr - Sep bull cycle (cont). The 109-00 handle remains exposed too. Initial firm resistance is seen at 111-29+, the 20-day EMA.
- Overnight the selloff led to a sharp tightening of SOFR 10yr swap spreads, which dropped around 3bps, marking the largest one-day tightening since March 2023. The spreads fell to -48bps after peaking at -46.8bps earlier in the session, the move follows a period of spread widening after the US election, reflecting investor reactions to potential deregulation.
