Long US 2yr Cash Treasuries
As we laid out in our US Rates Forecast published last week, Chief US Economist Christopher Hodge expects the Fed to resume its easing cycle in October, cutting 25bps per meeting until reaching a terminal band of 2.75%-3.00% by mid-2026. Given this, we see a bull steepening of the US rates curve beginning in Q3 (into the October 29 FOMC meeting) with 2yr yields ending the year at 3.20% and 10s at 4.10%. Thus, we enter long 2yr Treasuries here at 3.93%, with a preliminary target of 3.50% and a stop on close over 4.07%.
