US TSYS: Decent 20Y Bond Auction Re-Open Helped Treasuries Bounce Off Lows

Jan-22 20:20
  • Treasuries look to finish weaker Wednesday, off midday lows after the $13B 20Y Bond auction finally broke a string of poorly received sales, trading 1bp through: 4.900% high yield vs. 4.910% WI; 2.750x bid-to-cover vs. prior month's 2.50x.
  • Lite data session: MBA composite mortgage applications increased 0.1% last week (sa) to consolidate the 33% jump the week prior; US DEC. LEADING INDICATOR FALLS 0.1% M/M; EST. -0.1% (Bbg).
  • Late short covering saw the Mar'25 10Y contract trades 108-20 (-3.5) vs. 108-14 low, well above initial technical support at 108-00/107-06 (Low Jan 16 / 13 and the bear trigger). 10Y yield gained .0122 to 4.5886, curves flatter: 2s10s -.050 at 29.961, 5s30s -2.161 at 38.997.
  • Pres Trump’s tariff threat towards Russia weighed on Treasuries earlier in the session while underpinning US$ (BBDXY +.08 t 1302.69 late). Higher core yields have also been supportive of this price dynamic, while a 4bp move for 5-year treasury yields also provided support to the broader dollar index.
  • Cross asset roundup: Spot gold has risen by a further 0.4% to $2,756/oz on Wednesday, bringing the yellow metal to its highest level since October 31. WTI lost some ground on the day, with outages on the US gulf coast bearish for oil. However, it has struggled for clear direction, with earlier movement driven by Trump comments towards the war in Ukraine. WTI Mar 25 is down by 0.5% at $75.4/bbl.
