OCBC每日国债展望 (2026年10月5日)
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
US September nonfarm payrolls rose just 29k versus ~90k expected, with August revised down to 133,000; unemployment edged up to 4.2% and average hourly earnings rose only 0.1% MoM (3.0% YoY). The S&P 500 gained 0.73% on Friday, led by tech, while the 10-year UST yield initially plunged, then reversed to close near 5.26% as markets priced out an October FOMC hike, though December remains live. Separately, Trump's USD90 Medicare proposal flagged fiscal sustainability risk ahead of mid-terms.

Key arguments
- A soft US September payrolls print (29k vs ~90k expected) and downward revisions cooled expectations of an October FOMC hike, but December remains live.
- The front-end Treasury rally faded, with 2- to 5-year yields ending 2-5bp higher near multi-decade highs as investors questioned whether the soft data is sustainably disinflationary.
- The S&P 500 still ended the week lower despite Friday's 0.7% gain, as the prior bond rout and high 10-year yields weighed on rate-sensitive sectors.
- China is closed for Golden Week, but Beijing's suspension of October fuel exports beyond Hong Kong and Macau may affect Asian supply and BI, BSP and MAS policy decisions, while China's stimulus drew a cautious reception.

Main risks
- The bond market sell-off persists, with the belly of the US curve underperforming and 2- to 5-year yields near multi-decade highs, threatening rate-sensitive sectors.
- Fiscal sustainability concerns are reinforced by proposals such as paying USD90 Medicare benefits to over 20 million seniors ahead of US mid-term elections.
- China's suspension of October fuel exports beyond Hong Kong and Macau could tighten Asian fuel supply and complicate BI, BSP and MAS policy decisions later this month.
