Best 10yr Treasury auction... well... ever? Dealers took on 7.4%, while indirects (ie investors) jumped to 77.6%... both unprecedented over the last 20 years or so. Bounced right off that 1.97% level yesterday... maybe a lot of short covering prior to CPI tomorrow.

Hard to see the Fed less hawkish as aggregate labor income continues to climb at 9% (jobs * hours * wages). There are distributional issues for sure, but if large portions of the economy have more money they can afford to pay higher prices. Fed hikes to 4%+ and stays there, imv.

OK... let me say this. On June 1st the government is NOT raising "net debt." There, so now your confused. But here's how it works... The government has "non-marketable" debt in the Social Security trust fund. When SS is paid, that debt goes down, but there's no cash, so... (1/4)

To be clear @TheStalwart this is the call from the Bloomberg Economics team... the BI Rates Strategy team is at 3, maybe 4 hikes this year, and 2 or 3 next year (for 6 over the two years). five this year is not out of the question-depends how badly the Fed was a 2023 recession.

Update - after that extremely strong auction, and subsequent equity rally, Treasuries have taken back most of their gains and 10s are back 1.95%. 1.97% is still the level to keep an eye on as we approach CPI (2% is meaningless other than for a headline).

The #federalreserve is going to hike - the question is how quickly and can it use the balance sheet to replace hikes so the curve doens't invert? In our FOMC Preview we suggest slowly as the yield curve is already pricied to be really flat curve in 2024.

Private foreign investors driving demand for Treasuries. Talk of Central Banks selling has little relevance, imo, because CBs tend to own short maturity, low duration securities. Private investors tend to own market weight (or longer) duration.

Unpopular opinion among some, @AngeloManolatos & I think we're in a mid-cycle slowdown that'll lead to a reacceleration of growth in 2023. While most of the yield curve flattening may be over we still look for 2s10s to invert by 60bps before it's all over.

@KrishnaMemani Reserves & RRP are certainly different. RRP is Reserve draining, but effectively a way for the non-bank sector to hold a reserve asset... so although not fully equivalent, they are not meaningfully different. For calculating the monetary base I'd add the RRP facility to the mix.

What's Happening? Still some bear flattening, but we don't think it persists much longer... our latest Treasury forecasts are out this morning... along with a few other interesting things. 10s are pretty close to our model's fair value.

With Libor going away investors need a new toolkit for assessing the risk of financial contagion, today @whoffman732 and I discuss some alternatives (and talk debt ceiling too) in our latest note @TheTerminal here:

Like I’ve said. The market is either fed on hold or massive cuts by year end. The “40bps” of cutting is more like a weighted average of bi-modal expectations.

this medium is a terrible way to explain this. Look up the monthly treasury statement where you can see the marketable and non-marketable debt of the US & the Daily Treasury Statement where you can see on 6/1/22 where 60bn of the Government Account Series was repaid.

The talk of job cuts is certainly not good news, but generally they are small on an economy wide basis... and today's claims numbers support that. But remember there is a lag as employees who get severance, etc. But Snapchat cutting 1,300 jobs is an odd lot to the economy.

@PythonTrader , @AngeloManolatos & I put out a note today looking at the the important technical levels of 2y and 10y yields plus the 5s30s curve. Full note can be found here: 10s targeting 3.77%, but momentum indicators suggesting selloff may slow.

So much happening... not really... my read, the numbers today don't change anything... curve may start to bull flatten as Fed hikes and risk assets suffer... but for today... same ranges as recent moves in 2s10s... still think we need to retest the lows once more.

Thoughts on Powell Yesterday: I get that he sounded more dovish than some expected, but I didn't hear him say anything new at all - he was all very consistent. Some have suggested he looked/sounded casual and that was concerning - it was a chat, not a speech, so why not?... 1/3

I hate the debt limit, it's dumb. But still have to write about it, along with the rest of Treasury refunding statement coming next Wednesday. See @AngeloManolatos and my latest on the Terminal here:

Just remember one thing....you viewpoint is on the markets, the Fed's viewpoint is on the overall economy...markets being one of the transmission mechanisms...seen this way, what they are doing versus what they should be doing isn't that incongruent
