TREASURY WRAP: T-NOTE FUTURES (Z6) SETTLE 11 TICKS LOWER AT 105-26+

Treasuries fade post-BoJ gains as oil climbs. At settlement, 2-year +7.5bps at 4.745%, 3-year +8.4bps at 4.830%, 5-year +7.2bps at 4.858%, 7-year +7.1bps at 4.932%, 10-year +6.5bps at 5.004%, 20-year +5.2bps at 5.381%, 30-year +4.6bps at 5.336%.

THE DAY: Treasuries initially gained overnight, tracking JGBs higher following the BoJ rate decision. The BoJ hiked rates by 25bps as expected, but in a 7-2 vote, while the statement and Governor Ueda's presser did little to suggest the Bank is in a rush to hike again, although the door was left open to further rate increases.

Thereafter, Treasuries gradually sold off throughout the session, resulting in a bear-flattening of the yield curve. The downside coincided with upside in oil prices after reports that Saudi Arabia will not be delivering crude to Europe in October, extending the disruption after previous reports that September cargoes had also been cancelled.

However, as oil prices pared from their peaks to ultimately settle in the red, T-notes did little to follow suit and remained under pressure. US data saw Industrial Production and Manufacturing Production miss expectations, but the releases ultimately had little impact on the Treasury space. There were also plenty of block trades throughout the session, [with a full list available here].

There is little US data due next week aside from the Flash PMIs, although there is plenty of Fed speak alongside the 2-, 5- and 7-year Treasury auctions. From a macro perspective, the Trump/Xi meeting in the US will be closely watched, while the UNGA will also be in focus for any indication of the next steps from US President Trump regarding Iran.
