(Bloomberg) -- Treasury 2s30s curve at ~140bp is near lows of past two years, and has “a strong steepening bias in the first half of September,” probably because of seasonal surge in investment-grade corporate issuance, Credit Suisse strategists Praveen Korapaty and Jonathan Cohn say in note.
- Fundamentally, steepeners should benefit from lower odds of a federal govt shutdown, which has the potential to impair hurricane relief
- Seasonal increase in corporate issuance also is likely to narrow swap spreads; 10y swap spreads have tightened by 4bp on avg in September over last five years, and may exceed that this year if Treasuries cheapen into debt-ceiling drop-dead date
