MOU bid for Ts fading with 5s off 8 ticks from overnight highs. Front end repricing of the past few months isn't just about the Iran war. Ts need to grapple with a Fed that is likely to remove its easing bias at the next FOMC

With JGB 30s eyeballing 4%, can't count on automatic foreign bids for UST duration. Today's 30y auction may seem like good value at 5% but spread to JGB 30s is on the low side

With a UST 10y auction on deck, timely to look at 10s on the curve. The 5s10s30s 'fly which generally tracks the term premium has diverged recently with 10s richening up. Not a fan of the belly generally but this just adds to my disdain

There haven't been many big surprises in CPI releases lately as prints have been close to expectation. Hoping for the same today, ie core between 0.2-0.3%

They say nothing good happens below the 200 day moving average. Let's see if that's true for silver

5s up 9 ticks from overnight lows as yields north of 4.30 brought out the buyers. No clear sailing just yet though with supply and key inflation prints on deck this week.
