Michigan final revisions rarely move the front end unless the inflation expectations component shifts materially from the preliminary print — and with the 2Y already at 4.85% against a 3.63% funds rat…

A final 5-year expectations print that holds or revises higher keeps the 10Y grinding near 5.11% and gives the front end no reason to pull back from 4.85% on the 2Y — the term premium story stays inta…

Michigan final revision risk sits almost entirely in the inflation expectations components — the 1-year and 5-year prints are what actually move the 2Y, not the headline sentiment number. With fed fun…

Gold's weekly loss is straightforward — front-end rates are doing the work, with the 2Y at 4.85% embedding well over 100bp of hikes above a 3.63% funds rate, and that gap keeps widening. Equities abso…

Any upward revision in the 5-year expectations final is the only component here that directly threatens terminal-rate pricing, and with 10Y already at 5.11% and 2s10s at +26bp, the curve is already pr…

The headline sentiment number is secondary — what moves the 2Y from here is whether the inflation expectations final confirms the sticky readings that have kept the front end bid at 4.85% with fed fun…

Ex-transport and core capex orders (non-defense ex-air) together will either validate or challenge a front-end that's already sitting 120bp above the effective fed funds rate — with the 2Y at 4.85%, t…

The initial reaction is a bid to front-end Treasuries and a soft dollar, as the market prices the gap between Schmid’s tone and the more hawkish Williams speech—two Fed voices pulling in opposite dire…

Headline durables will whip the tape, but the ex-defense, ex-air core capex number is the only component that matters for repricing the terminal path — with the 2Y already sitting at 4.85% against a 3…
