Treasury Full Desk Read

September CPI lands this morning with the 2-year 91 bp above the 3.88% effective funds rate and the 10-year 10 bp lower than Oct 5.
Wednesday, October 14, 2026 · Treasury curve as of Oct 13 close · Fed funds 3.75–4.00% (raised Sep 16)
The Read

This morning's September CPI (8:30 ET) is the week's test, and the inflation backdrop going into it remains above the 2% goal on every measure: August headline CPI 3.4% and August core CPI 2.4%, with August headline PCE 3.4% and August core PCE 3.0%. The labor side is softer: September payrolls rose 29,000 and the September unemployment rate was 4.2%. The FOMC raised the target range a quarter point to 3.75–4.00% on September 16 by a 12–0 vote, and the September projections put the 2026 median for the federal funds rate at 4.1% (central tendency 4.1–4.4%).

Tuesday's close, the first after the Columbus Day holiday, eased the long end more than the front. The 2-year closed at 4.79%, 1 bp lower than Oct 9, and the 10-year at 5.21%, 3 bp lower than Oct 9; the 30-year closed at 5.56%, 4 bp lower than Oct 9. On the week the 2-year is 5 bp lower than Oct 5 and the 10-year 10 bp lower than Oct 5, leaving 2s10s at +42 bp. The 2-year sits 91 bp above the 3.88% effective funds rate.

For the sample bank the same levels cut both ways. The same levels set what new money earns and hold its $410M of AFS securities under pressure, which is where the AFS mark (pre-tax, −$41.4M) and the EVE profile register it: the +300 EVE result of −14.6% sits beyond the internal −13.75% watch trigger but within the −25% policy limit. Funding has not eased either: the top of Bankrate's one-year CD list is 4.75% against the sample bank's 4.09% weighted CD cost.

Today's Tie-In
■About $125M of securities cash flow comes due over the next twelve months against the whole portfolio's 2.95% book yield, applied to the roll-off (no yield is stated for the cash flow itself). Each 25 bp between that yield and whatever it earns next is on the order of $313k a year, gross, full-year, full deployment ($125M × 0.25%). Which securities or maturities, the timing and whether to reinvest at all are the committee's.
■The $155M Q3 tranche at ~4.35% matured Sep 30, after the sample book's Aug 25 extract; renewed 25–35 bp below the tranche rate, inside the sample bank's own 4.00–4.10% renewal defense band, it would be ~$0.4–0.5M a year on that tranche.
■The AFS mark (pre-tax) sits at −$41.4M, up $4.6M over three months. Roughly $4.3M of that mark moves per 25 bp, taken at the whole securities portfolio's 4.2-year effective duration (the book states no AFS-only duration).
■The +300 EVE position is −14.6%, beyond the internal −13.75% watch trigger but within the −25% policy limit, on a balance sheet carrying $560M of securities and $265M of equity; it is the figure to carry into the next ALCO review.

Treasury Desk Watch
●Evaluate: September CPI (Wed Oct 14, 8:30 ET) against August's 3.4% headline CPI and 2.4% core CPI: what a 25 bp move in short rates does to year-1 NII at a 34% realized beta versus the 45% modeled.

●Evaluate: AFS mark (pre-tax) sensitivity of roughly $4.3M per 25 bp, taken at the whole securities portfolio's 4.2-year effective duration (the book states no AFS-only duration), against the $265M equity base.
●Compare: The cost of each funding source by tenor on all-in economics once primary-source wholesale quotes are available, with the discount window at 4.00% as the reference point.

On a phone, swipe sideways to read the full width. Levels are as of that morning and are not updated on this page. Corrected for this page: The calendar called the 5-year TIPS auction on Oct 22 a reopening; it is a new issue (Treasury’s auction schedule). Two calendar rows each carried two events under one time; each event now has its own row, with a time only where the source gives one (Beige Book 2:00 p.m. ET, Federal Reserve calendar; PPI 8:30 a.m. ET, BLS release schedule). The deposit table names Bankrate’s lists rather than the institutions at the top of them. The footer’s first line is replaced with the wording the September sample used. One sentence in the Read is reworded, and the 2.95% is labelled as the whole portfolio’s book yield, applied to the roll-off. The −$41.4M and the $4.3M per 25 bp are the AFS mark before tax, labelled “AFS mark (pre-tax)” as on the Desk; AOCI is net of tax. The book states no fixed-rate share, so “fixed-rate” is removed. The header reads “Sample Bank Demonstration”, and the closing line is the Morning Brief’s. The Q3 tranche matured on Sep 30, after the sample book’s Aug 25 extract, so it is described in the past tense. The $375M of FHLB capacity is labelled as undrawn. The rates heading dated the policy rates Oct 9; they are from the Sep 16 decision, and Oct 9 is the date of EFFR and SOFR. The wholesale line now says no primary source was available that morning.
