Another day, another sell-off in the Treasury market. The selling did briefly subside earlier this morning when ECB chief economist Philip Lane expressed concerns that the sharp rise in European long-end yields may lead to “a tightening of financial conditions” that could offset other stimulus efforts in combatting the impact of the pandemic. Lane said the ECB will be flexible in its bond purchases to combat the move. Fed Chair Powell declined to make similar comments this week, perhaps knowing that a larger fiscal aid package is a high probability at this point. The 2-year/10-year Treasury spread is up to 130 basis points this morning, the steepest since December 2016.
