You could make a case this isn't just about rate hikes but also the buildup of more risk premia across the curve. To the degree that is the case, the forward curve may be too flat.

Removal of forward guidance was bound to have a few hiccups as leveraged types like dealers, HFs, locals etc adjusted to the new Fed. Feels like USTs are in a great place now with a good does of uncertainty premium built across the curve.

5s had been bizarrely rich at the beginning of the tightening cycle but now making a new low on the broad curve. 2s5s also 5 bps steeper than earlier before the auction

Feels like Ts (Year bill and 2s) probably roll even better that what is implied by the forward here

It has been a dramatic cheapening of 2s since CPI. Looking to see if there will be any reprieve after today's auction. With 1-year forward 2s eyeballing 5% would expect some interest from real money.

Good trades aren't spread evenly in time. So you need to step up when good ones are there. This is one of those times in USTs/SR3s.

We all have different risk profiles so it doesn't make sense for me to spell out my actual trades. If you trade front end USTs and SOFR futures, you will know where to look
