The S&P 500 on Wednesday closed lower on unexpected weakness in U.S. May retail sales which fell -0.3% and -0.3% ex autos (weaker than expectations of unch and +0.1% ex autos) and on weakness in energy stocks after crude oil prices tumbled -3.72% to a 1-1/4 month low.

Sep 10-year T-notes (ZNU17 -0.12%) this morning are down -2 ticks. Wednesday's closes: TYU7 +17.50, FVU7 +8.00. Sep 10-year T-notes on Wednesday rallied to a contract high and the 10-year T-note yield fell to a 7-month low. T-note prices were boosted by weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data on May CPI and May retail sales and weaker inflation expectations after the 10-year T-note breakeven inflation rate fell to a 7-month low. The T-note market took in stride the Fed's balance sheet roll-off plan, which will start off at $10 billion per month.
The dollar index (DXY00 +0.36%) this morning is up +0.241 (+0.35%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0052 (-0.46%) at a 2-week low and USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.18 (+0.16%).

The dollar index on Wednesday dropped to a 7-month low and closed lower on the softer-than-expected U.S. May retail sales and CPI reports and strength in EUR/USD which climbed to a 7-month high on signs of strength in the European economy after Eurozone Q1 employment rose +1.5% y/y, the largest year-on-year increase in 9 years.

There was also decent demand for the Treasury's $12 billion auction of 30-year T-bonds that had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.32, above the 12-auction average of 2.30. T-note prices were undercut by rising producer price pressures after U.S. May core PPI rose +2.1% y/y, stronger than expectations of +1.9% y/y and the largest year-on-year increase in 3 years.
