A larger-than-expected API draw would most likely firm crude and keep the near-term inflation premium alive, which leans slightly supportive for Treasury yields and DXY while capping some upside in US…

A surprise build in the API crude print would hit risk appetite through the rates channel first, not the commodity itself—front-end yields have been sticky near 4.24% and the 2s10s curve sits at +50bp…
