Estimated


Treasury curve is lower by around 1 bps across the curve this morning.

The market continues to await clarity on tariffs as we approach the August 1st deadline. An overall calmness has settled over the equity markets, with investors focusing more on the US economy’s steady growth and strong corporate profits, rather than Trump’s threats of tariffs or firing Jerome Powell.

Economic releases for the day remain light, with the market looking towards housing data (MBA mortgage applications index and existing home sales) on Wednesday and jobless claims and new home sales on Thursday. Big Tech earnings are also expected later this weekend, with the first focus on Alphabet and Tesla on Wednesday.
