Thirty Capital Market Update: Markets Eye Treasury Auctions as Job Market Stays Resilient

Last week started with a bit of a rally off the recent highs, but it didn’t hold up for long. Initial Jobless Claims reached an 8-month low on Tuesday, indicating continued strength in the jobs market, and Friday’s ISM Manufacturing numbers were stronger than anticipated at 49.3, which is on the verge of being expansive. Speaker Johnson was re-elected Friday, which gave back most of the initial rally, and we closed the week roughly 3-4 BPS down across the curve.

Since September 18th, the Fed has cut 100 BPS, and Overnight SOFR has dropped from 5.33% to 4.31%. This is significant relief for any borrowers floating unhedged. Over the same period, 2-year Swap rates are up about 70 BPS, and 10-year Swaps are up 84 BPS. It’s reasonable to expect the curve to continue steepening in 2025.

There’s a lot of concern surrounding the vast amount of Treasuries being auctioned off. We have 3-year, 10-year, and 30-year TSY auctions this week. If one or multiple of them are received poorly, rates could move up more. If the economy trips up this year, the Fed may have more room to cut. This week, we also get JOLTS and ISM Services on Tuesday, Fed minutes Wednesday, and Payrolls on Friday (expected +160k).

Rent Ready introduces a modern solution to an age-old apartment industry problem.

After a deep dive in the industry, Rent Ready discovered that the make ready process was disjointed, frustrating, and time-consuming. Onsite staff members were scheduling six different services with six different vendors – creating scheduling nightmares along with unexpected challenges and headaches. As a full-service partner for onsite apartment staff, Rent Ready handles the frustration between the move-out and move-in, as a single-source for all turn services: paint, clean, carpet, wall repair, punch, and counter/tub resurfacing.
