美国国债期权交易员正在加大押注，预计10年期美国国债收益率将突破近期区间，并在未来几周内跌破 4%，降至11月以来的最低水平。自去年12月底以来，期权市场的多头倾向持续增强，此前投资者一直 处于观望状态，等待本周开始陆续公布的、不受美国政府停摆影响的关键经济数据。过去一个月，基准 10年期美国国债收益率在0.1个百分点左右的范围内波动。 周二公布的仓位数据显示，3月份10年期期权的买盘进一步扩大，目标看好债券价格上涨。本周的资金 流动中，有一位大买家买入合约，预期收益率将从目前的略低于4.2%降至3.95%左右。 这些期权将于2月20日到期，这意味着它们的定价包含了美联储1月28日的下一次政策声明。交易员们预 计，在连续三次降息以应对就业市场降温迹象后，美联储可能会暂停降息。 与此同时，根据摩根大通公司对美国国债客户的每周调查，现货市场情绪已转为悲观。调查显示，空头 头寸大幅增加，这可能会提振空头回补需求，如果即将公布的数据加剧了人们对经济增长的担忧，则可 能导致收益率下降。 摩根大通调查 截至1月5日当周，摩根大通客户的多头头寸下降了11个百分点，而空头头寸上升了6个百分点。因此， 所有客户的调查显示，净多 ...

智通财经APP注意到，在 11 月份失业率意外上升，给笼罩美国经济前景的混合信号增添了不确定性之后，债券交易员们大举押注于一种流行的策略：青睐 短期美债而非长期美债。 周二，2 年期和 30 年期美债收益率之间的利差扩大至四年多来的最大幅度，这反映出在通胀顽固和经济增长强劲的背景下，市场仍预期美联储明年至少还 会再降息两次。 这一切都在为所谓的"曲线陡峭化"交易火上浇油。该交易旨在押注短期和长期债务之间的收益率差距将继续扩大。尽管通胀仍相对较高，但自美联储 9 月份 恢复降息以来，该交易已获得关注。周四，延迟发布的 11 月份消费者物价数据将对这一交易进行进一步的检验。 美债期货也突显出，押注收益率曲线陡峭化的头寸正在加速积累。期货合约持仓量(open interest)数据的变化表明，在曲线的短端出现了新的多头头寸。与此 同时，周二出现的一笔 1500 万美元的溢价头寸，目标是长期美债更深层次的抛售。 WisdomTree 固定收益策略主管 Kevin Flanagan 表示："2 年期收益率被美联储和降息预期所锚定，而曲线的后端则在对更广泛的问题做出反应，即经济并没 有濒临衰退，并且存在顽固的通胀。" 在 ...

智通财经APP获悉，债券交易员押注美联储未来一年降息幅度将较为平缓，这是全球范围内押注美联储 将放缓或停止货币宽松政策的趋势的一部分。除了周三预期的25个基点降息外，期货和期权交易显示， 交易员们现在预计美联储将在2026年总共降息50个基点，其中大部分降息将集中在今年上半年。这与一 周前利率互换市场预期明年将降息近三次的情况截然相反。类似的鹰派情绪也迅速在澳大利亚、新西兰 以及最近的加拿大和欧元区等经济体中重燃。 在美国，这一转变发生在关键的劳动力市场数据开始发布之前，该报告延迟至下周公布，这些数据很可 能决定市场目前对美联储的看法是否会持续。周二，美国就业岗位空缺率指标超出预期。该数据推高了 美国国债收益率，并凸显了政策制定者在本周开会时面临的挑战，因为此时通胀仍然居高不下。 New York Life Investments首席市场策略师Lauren Goodwin表示，在物价持续承压的背景下，更大幅度的 降息可能会使美联储对抗通胀的信誉受到质疑。她表示，在美联储的政策路径上，"我们比市场略微鹰 派一些"。她还说，"美联储在2026年加息绝对存在风险"，尽管这并非他们的基本预期。 市场对美联储降息预期减 ...

美东时间下午3点 2年期国债收益率报3.5288%， 5年期国债收益率报3.6832%， 美国国债周四收于接近日内低点，此前数据显示初请失业金和持续申领失业金人数都低于预期之后，国 债走弱。收益率则收盘接近当日高点，曲线出现熊市趋平。SOFR期权方面，针对明年上半年联邦公开 市场委员会（FOMC）会议的上行保护需求持续存在。 纽约时间下午3点过后不久，整个收益率曲线上升3至5个基点，曲线中部债券领跌；5s30s利差收窄近2 个基点，回吐了周三的陡化走势。 10年期美债收益率收于4.105%左右，当日上行4个基点。 当天大部分跌势出现在每周申请失业金数据公布后，该数据公布后最初引发了一轮震荡的价格波动。 联邦基金利率预期相关的隔夜指数掉期（OIS）对12月会议的定价基本持稳，隐含降息约22个基点。更 远端的曲线则反映到明年6月会议将累计降息约60个基点，不过交易员在SOFR期权中则押注更深幅度的 降息路径。 10年期国债收益率报4.1098%， 30年期国债收益率报4.7667%， 5年和30年期国债收益率差报108.17个基点， 2年和10年期国债收益率差报57.68个基点。 责任编辑：李桐 美国国债周四收于 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, which has dropped below 4% for the first time in a month, and highlights the significant shift in market expectations regarding future interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve [1][2]. Group 1: Market Expectations - A recent survey by JPMorgan indicates that investors' net long positions in U.S. Treasuries have reached their highest level in about 15 years [1]. - Market pricing shows that traders believe there is an approximately 80% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut next month, a significant increase from just 30% a few days prior [5]. - The market's expectations for rate cuts have dramatically reversed in a short period, influenced by comments from Federal Reserve officials and recent economic data [3][9]. Group 2: Federal Reserve Insights - The internal opinions within the Federal Reserve appear to be divided, with a growing number of members leaning towards a dovish stance [8]. - Recent economic data, including labor market indicators, may provide justification for Chairman Powell to persuade other FOMC members towards a rate cut [7]. - Some top investment banks, including Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan, express skepticism about the likelihood of a rate cut in December, indicating that the decision remains uncertain despite market expectations [12][14]. Group 3: Economic Conditions - Economic performance has been strong from a growth perspective, but there are still risks in the labor market, and inflation remains above the target at around 3% [16]. - The SOFR options market has seen increased activity related to hedging against a December rate cut, with a notable rise in open interest for call options [11].

Core Viewpoint - Investors are significantly betting on the Federal Reserve's policymakers to cut interest rates again in the upcoming meeting next month, following a week where doubts about rate cuts have dissipated, laying the groundwork for a rise in U.S. Treasury bonds [1][3]. Market Sentiment - The shift in interest rate expectations began with the mixed September non-farm payroll data released last week, followed by comments from New York Fed President John Williams indicating potential room for rate cuts due to a weak labor market [3]. - The futures market reflects a dovish sentiment, with a recent survey from JPMorgan showing net long positions at their highest level in about 15 years [3]. Treasury Yield Movement - On Tuesday, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell below 4% for the first time in a month, influenced by speculation regarding Kevin Hassett as a potential future Fed chair, which has heightened expectations for rate cuts over the next year [4]. Positioning in Futures Market - Since last Thursday, the total number of new positions in January federal funds futures has approached 275,000 contracts, indicating a significant increase in market positioning for a rate cut [5]. - The price of the January contract rose from a low of 96.18 to a high of 96.35, reflecting continued inflow of new long positions [5]. Divergence in Predictions - While most Wall Street strategists predict a rate cut in December, not all are as confident as traders. Morgan Stanley has removed its forecast for a rate cut, and JPMorgan leans towards maintaining rates next month, although the December decision remains close [6]. - Overall, the economic growth in the U.S. has been strong, but there are still downward risks in the labor market, and inflation remains above target levels [6]. Options Market Activity - In the SOFR options market, there has been a significant increase in open interest for contracts with a strike price of 96.25, primarily driven by a surge in bullish positions for December 2025 options [9][10]. - The premium for options used to hedge Treasury risks has remained near neutral levels, with a slight bias towards call options, indicating that traders are paying more to hedge against short- and medium-term contract price increases [13].

Group 1 - The Federal Reserve's interest rate cut expectations for December have dramatically reversed, with the probability of a cut falling below 50% in the interest rate swap market, while the options market shows a significant number of bets on a rate cut with 863,000 open SOFR contracts [1][2][4] - There is a notable internal division within the Federal Reserve, with differing opinions among officials: Waller supports a rate cut, Logan opposes it, and Schmid advocates for maintaining the current rates, leading to increased market uncertainty [1][6] - The recent economic data has been inconsistent, with rising unemployment claims and job losses in the private sector indicating a weakening labor market, while core inflation remains sticky, complicating the Fed's decision-making process [2][4][9] Group 2 - The options market's heavy betting on a rate cut contrasts sharply with the warnings from Dallas Fed President Logan, who stated that a cut would be difficult to support unless there is a significant drop in inflation or a collapse in employment [4][6] - The market's reaction to the upcoming economic data, particularly the non-farm payrolls report, is critical; a weak jobs report could bolster dovish sentiments, while strong data could reinforce hawkish views [9] - The current situation reflects a broader market anxiety, with traders employing strategies reminiscent of 2019, anticipating that the Fed may ultimately compromise in response to market expectations [9]
