Curve shift
The curve bear-steepened.
Level, slope and curvature of the shift over a month, basis points
The curve bear-steepened. Level, slope and curvature of the shift over a month, basis points Source: US Treasury constant-maturity yields. Method: Level = mean yield change across 11 tenors. Slope = 2s10s change (10Y move minus 2Y). Curvature = the 2-5-10 butterfly, 2×5Y move minus the 2Y and 10Y moves. Bear = yields up, bull = down.

Financial stress
NFCI is the Chicago Fed's National Financial Conditions Index; STLFSI4 is the St. Louis Fed Financial Stress Index. Both read above zero when financial conditions are tighter than average. HY OAS is the ICE BofA US High-Yield option-adjusted spread: the extra yield investors demand to hold junk bonds.
Net liquidity
Net liquidity is updating.
Fed balance sheet minus TGA minus reverse repo, $ trillions
Net liquidity is updating. Fed balance sheet minus TGA minus reverse repo, $ trillions Source: FRED (WALCL, WTREGEN, RRPONTSYD). Method: Net liquidity = WALCL − WTREGEN − RRPONTSYD: Fed total assets, less the Treasury General Account (the government cash held at the Fed), less the overnight reverse-repo balance. Weekly series forward-filled onto the daily grid.
