US TSYS: TYA Testing Another Support; Confidence, Kugler and 2Y Supply Ahead
Mar-25 10:48
- Treasuries are again testing lows amidst a broader sell-off, with EGBs ostensibly underperforming on the day although much of that looks like catch-up for price action since yesterday’s close.
- Today’s see consumer confidence headline various second tier data releases, permanent voter Kugler speaking for the first time since last week’s FOMC and 2Y supply after last month’s booming demand from indirects.
- US equity futures hold onto the bulk of yesterday’s strong gains whilst crude oil futures have modestly extended gains.
- Cash yields are 2-3bp higher on the day, whilst 2s10s at 31bp (+0.6bp) is within recent ranges.
- TYM5 is again testing recent lows after yesterday’s clearance of 20-day EMA support, with a latest low of 110-10 (-07+) dipping through 110-12+ (Mar 6/13 lows). Volumes are reasonable at 325k.
- A clearer break could open 110-05+ (50-day EMA) before a key 110-00 (Feb 7 high), although the trend structure remains bullish with resistance at 111-17+ (Mar 20 high).
