Weaker Ahead Of Durable Goods And 2-/5-Yr Supply

US TSYS SUMMARY

Tsys are a little lower to start the week, with durable goods data and 2-/5-yr supply coming up, and ahead of the FOMC decision and Pres Biden's address Weds.

  • Curve a little steeper: the 2-Yr yield is up 0.2bps at 0.1595%, 5-Yr is up 1.6bps at 0.8327%, 10-Yr is up 2.5bps at 1.5826%, and 30-Yr is up 2.5bps at 2.259%.

  • Most attention overnight on India COVID crisis, EU opening up to vaccinated US travellers this summer, and anticipation re Biden's address to Congress.
  • While Fed meeting this week is seen largely as a placeholder, some see risks of a hawkish tweak of messaging and/or a change in administered rates. Our preview will be out later today.

  • In a front-loaded supply week (due to FOMC Weds), we get two note auctions today: 1130ET $60B 2-Yr Note (alongside $54B 26-week bills) and 1300ET $61B 5-Yr Note (alongside $57B 13-week bills).
