US TSY SUMMARY: Rates and Equities surged to new session highs after eagerly

awaited Trump press conf delivered little bite: US terminating

relationship/funding with WHO, take action to stop entry of some foreign

nationals, take action on Chinese firms listed on US exchanges.

- Little in the way of month end flow after the bell, though equities continued

to inch higher (ESM0 +6.0 at 3044.0).

- Little to no react to Fed speakers ahead blackout period tonight through June

11. Fed Chair Powell: Fed "not close to any limits" to what it can do, still has

"authority to react"; evidence whether neg rates actually helps pretty ambiguous

as it interferes w/ credit allocation and crushes down on bank margins. Fed

Mester: "RECOVERY COULD BE SLOW, HARD TO IMAGINE IT AS V-SHAPED" Bbg"

- MNI Chicago Business Barometer Falls Further To 38-Year Low (32.3 MAY VS 35.4

APR); more than 40% of the respondents expect Covid-19 to have an impact on

business plans for more than 9 months.

is down 4.4bps at 0.6461%, and 30-Yr is down 4.6bps at 1.4064%.

TECHNICALS:

US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (U0) Well Supported  

*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: 139-08+ @ 16:23 BST, May 29

*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 continue to trade sideways within its current range. 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 consolation and confirm a resumption of the uptrend that would

target 139-25, 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: (M0) 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: 99.735 @ 16:15 BST May 29

*SUP 1: 99.728 - Lower 2% Bollinger Band

*SUP 2: 99.720 - Low Apr 14 / 15

*SUP 3: 99.645 - Low Mar 20

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: (M0) 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: 99.1250 @ 16:30 BST, May 29

*SUP 1: 99.0200 - Low Apr 9

*SUP 2: 98.7800 - Low Mar 23 

*SUP 3: 98.5700 - Low Mar 20 

10yr futures settled at the lower-end of the recent range into the close Friday.

Key support remains 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: (M0): Turning Lower

*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 @ 16:34 BST, May 29

*SUP 1: 152.15 - Low May 12 / 27

*SUP 2: 151.86 - Low Apr 9

*SUP 3: 151.59 - Low Mar 26 

JGB futures closed close to the week's lows, 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.
