Market Analysis

How the tape may move from the last update’s mark — not from the open, and not the session % already printed.

A yield below 3.640% confirms strong cash demand, supporting short-term stability. A rise above 3.70% signals liquidity stress, benefiting long-duration bonds.

Expected Move From Here -0.5% to +0.5% From last update, not from the open

Certainty 75%

Why

Short-term bill auctions are highly predictable. The range is tight because the Fed controls the overnight rate. Deviations larger than 5bps are rare without major news. Certainty is high because the mechanism is transparent.
