September Monthly Futures Market Memo

by MF Global Research

DEBT MARKETS

Treasury prices are expected to rise slowly in September. TYZ8 should find support at 115-19 and work toward 119-16. The market will be supported by on going weakness in the U.S. economy and a deceleration in global economic growth. Moreover, credit stress remains and money is flowing out of the emerging markets in the wake of a downward revision to the global growth outlook, growing tensions between Russia and the West, and a slump in the Korean won. The U.S. unemployment rate should work toward 6.0%, although the recent ISM employment reading points to the chance for surprise labor market strength. Consumer demand will remain weak despite some relief from lower fuel prices. Additionally, business spending will be cautious given the weakening profit outlook and political uncertainty into the U.S. election. Overseas, the U.K. economy is in recession, and Euro-zone growth is contracting with PMI indices below 50 and retail sales contracting. EM growth is also at risk given a budding currency crisis in Korea, tight monetary policy in India, and political uncertainty in Eastern Europe. On credit, Fitch has noted on going deterioration in auto asset backed securities and option adjusted mortgages. Inflationary pressures are elevated but likely to moderate given the reduction in energy prices and soft labor market. Fed policy will be unchanged until after the U.S. election. The main bearish factor for the treasury market rests in poor valuation.
