Analysis

Curve Steepening Accelerates as 2s10s Hits +95bp

The 2Y fell 0.59% to 3.71% while the 10Y dipped just 0.21% to 4.66%, widening the 2s10s spread to approximately +95bp. This aggressive front-end rally suggests the market is pricing accelerating rate cuts while the long end remains anchored by fiscal supply concerns. For crypto, this steepening regime historically supports risk assets near-term but the magnitude of the spread signals macro fragility that could catalyze volatility if growth data disappoints.
