Estimated


Treasury yields are up another 2-4 basis points in reaction to European economic data and today’s upcoming 2-year auction. 

Preliminary April PMI data from Europe was mixed but generally improved, with Germany’s composite reading (manufacturing and services) moving into expansion territory for the first time since last June. U.S. PMI data will be released later this morning. The 2-year Treasury yield briefly touched 5% this morning and is on track to reach the highest closing level since November 13. Year-to-date, the front-end benchmark is up 74 basis points. The Fed is now in the blackout period for any public comments ahead of next Wednesday’s FOMC meeting.
