US TSYS: Tsys Futures Edges Slightly Lower, Curve Steepens

US TSYS
  • Tsys futures have seen a small move lower over the past hour, which could be linked to the strong AU employment data, however futures still trade within Wednesday's ranges.
  • On what was a quiet day for US data on Wednesday, futures initially pushed higher after softer-than-expected September UK inflation numbers while large block flows ($520k/DV01 10-year buyer and a $555k/DV01 5-year buyer) also supported the bid tone.
  • Cash tsy curve has bear-steepened this morning, yields are +0.5bps to 2bps higher. The 2yr is trading +0.7bps at 3.944%, while the 10yr is +1.8bps at 4.03%. The 2s10s was little changed on Wednesday trading at 8.1bps.
  • Fed fund futures are pricing in 23.6bps or 95% chance of a cut at the November meeting, and 45.5bps of cuts by the December meeting both little changed over the past few sessions.
