March 25, 2021 Headlines
Treasury yields are modestly lower across the curve ahead of today’s $62 billion 7-year auction. Last month’s auction was historically bad and sent benchmark yields 10 bps higher in a flash immediately thereafter. Initial jobless claims fell more than expected last week, now at a fresh pandemic low of 684,000 (730,000 expected). The February personal income and spending report will be released tomorrow, and core PCE is expected to remain unchanged at 1.5% year-over-year.
