  • The flattening move was supported earlier after a Block 2s10s flattener, DV01 $645k
  • The market is no longer pricing in a full rate cut in December, projected rate cuts into early 2025 compared to early Monday levels (*): Dec'24 cumulative -16.3bp (-17.1bp), Jan'25 -24.3bp (-25.7bp), Mar'25 -37.6bp (-38.9bp), May'25 -45.0bp (-46.9bp).
