Sector News
US Treasuries dominated the macro narrative this week. The 10-year yield briefly touched 5%, a multi-year high, and the two-year yield set a fresh multi-year peak on Saturday (Sep 19). Around the Fed’s September meeting, yields swung sharply: they climbed early in the week, hit 5% before reversing, then pulled back further after the Fed kicked off its hiking cycle. As a short-duration Treasury fund, SHV carries far less price sensitivity than long-dated bonds, with flows reflecting demand for a low-volatility, short-maturity place to park cash.
The Week Ahead
The macro calendar is busy next week. Tuesday (Sep 22) brings the Richmond Fed composite index, with a prior reading of 4. Wednesday (Sep 23) features two EIA crude inventory reports. Thursday (Sep 24) is the heaviest day, with initial jobless claims, the current account balance, new home sales, and natural gas inventories all due. New home sales are forecast at 0.608, slightly above the prior 0.607, while initial claims stood at 196. These data points will test how the economy holds up after the Fed’s first hike and may reshape short-rate expectations.
In Short
SHV barely moved this week, yet that flatness sat against a sharp repricing in Treasury yields. Short-duration exposure stayed exceptionally calm while longer-dated yields spiked and retreated. The latest session’s fund-flow snapshot shows large-lot and retail money both tilted net buyer, with no sign of a defensive unwind. The question now is how short rates price in the start of the hiking cycle, and whether the heavy run of macro data next week provides a clearer steer.
