TREASURIES-Yield curve steepest in three years as market awaits COVID-19 stimulus
Note the volume on panel 2-Quad Witch expiry today.
The Treasury yield curve steepened on Friday to its highest since February 2018 as investors waited to see whether the U.S. Congress would agree on $900 billion in fresh COVID-19 relief by the end of the day.
The spread between the two- and 10-year yields , the most common measure of the yield curve, rose as high as 82.7 basis points on Friday afternoon, its steepest in three years. The spread between the five- and 30-year yields also widened, but only to its highest since Dec. 7. The yield curve broadly has steepened this week on stimulus and vaccine optimism, as well as the Federal Reserve’s decision on Wednesday to maintain its current pace and duration of bond buying, which pushed longer-dated yields higher. A recent move higher in longer-dated yields sparked debate over whether the Fed would alter its Treasury purchases to cap yields. The 10-year yield was last up 1.3 basis points at 0.943%. The 30-year yield rose 1.8 basis points to 1.693%. The short end of the curve dipped, with the two-year yield last down 0.4 basis point at 0.123%.
Oil futures score a 7th straight weekly gain
Oil futures climbed on Friday and marked a weekly gain for a seventh consecutive session. Crude prices rose as Moderna Inc.'s MRNA, -2.62% COVID vaccine is poised to get vaccine authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda. However, "successful vaccine execution" is what is needed to send U.S. benchmark crude prices well above the $50 level and "that is unlikely to happen for months." January West Texas Intermediate crude CLF21, +1.43% rose 74 cents, or 1.5%, to settle at $49.10 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. For the week, prices based on the front-month contract rose 5.4%, according to FactSet data.
Congress looked increasingly unlikely on Friday to meet a deadline to agree on a new coronavirus stimulus bill and instead may pass a third stopgap spending bill to keep the government from shutting down at midnight. But the move steeper in the Treasury market suggested investors still believed a deal would get done. With Brexit and U.S. fiscal negotiations expected to stumble across the finish line this weekend, and U.S. stock market indexes lower, U.S. Treasuries “showed hardly any sympathy to established correlations,” wrote Edward Acton, U.S. rates strategist at Citigroup.
“After a modest flattening rally on the New York open … the term-structure promptly sold off back to the overnight yield and curve highs and tread water there for the vast majority of the afternoon,” said Acton, noting that low trading volume - roughly 60% of the 30-day average - contributed to the lack of movement. The majority of the Fed's purchases of Treasury debt since March have been in shorter maturities, which has helped keep yields at the short end of the curve low and has allowed the longer-dated yields to rise modestly. The continuation of that policy left the curve slightly steeper, on trend with the recent direction of the market.
Stimulus hopes, and the rollout this week of a COVID-19 vaccine, have so far allowed the Treasury market to shrug off the bleak labor market data.

Waltons Transfer $48 Billion of Walmart Shares to Family Trust
The world’s wealthiest family moved $48 billion of Walmart Inc. stock to a different holding company in an action that may signal future share sales and bolster their philanthropy. Walton Enterprises LLC, the main investment entity of the retailer’s founding clan, transferred about 15% of Walmart’s outstanding shares to the Walton Family Holdings Trust, according to regulatory filings last week. The shift of 415 million shares represented about 29% of the shares held by Walton Enterprise. This entity now owns about 1 billion shares. The family owns about half of the retailer’s outstanding shares and last week’s transaction doesn’t change their overall stake. But if previous selling patterns by the trust are any guide, disposals may occur. In the past five years, the trust has sold 98% of the 194 million shares that were distributed to it in April 2015.
