Deep News
Feb 11

U.S. Treasury futures dropped to session lows as yields surged, following the release of January nonfarm payrolls data that exceeded expectations, with the unemployment rate falling from 4.4% to 4.3%.

The U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened in a bearish manner, with yields rising by 3 to 8 basis points across maturities. The 2s10s and 5s30s spreads narrowed by 4 basis points and 5 basis points on the day, respectively.

Overnight Indexed Swaps (OIS) tied to Federal Reserve meeting dates shifted in a hawkish direction, now pricing in approximately 50 basis points of rate cuts by year-end, compared to 59 basis points at Tuesday's close. The timing of the first fully priced rate cut was pushed back from June to July.
