What to Watch: Personal Income/Spending, UofM Sentiment
US TSYS
- Treasury futures trade modestly higher (TYM4 +3.5 at 107-15) ahead the NY open, curves flatter (2s10s -1.821 at -31.386) with the short end underperforming.
- Decent volumes (TYM4>365k) as markets await Personal Income/Spending and PCE Deflator data at 0830ET, followed by University of Michigan sentiment/inflation expectations at 1000ET. Kansas City Fed Services Activity data wraps up the week's data at 1100ET.
- Expect two-way positioning/position squaring ahead of the weekend as focus turns to next Wednesday's FOMC policy announcement.
- Changes to the Statement are likely to be limited, with the forward rate guidance remaining intact, though the Committee’s characterization of recent inflation will be scrutinized for any hawkish shift.
