Key Quotes
“US Treasuries have, as one would expected, sold off hard in response to the economic news. The 10-year yield is at 2.40%, new highs. The 2-year yield is up 7 bp at 73 bp. The December Fed funds contract now implies a yield of 37.5 bp, which would be the mid-point of a 25-50 bp target range, which would fully price in one hike by the Fed this year. The effective Fed funds rate has been steady in the middle of the current 0-25 bp range.”
