⚑ Treasurer's Note — PWLB rates have ticked up by 2bp across all maturities at the morning reset, with no clear catalyst from data or news. This is a modest parallel move, so the window for pre-reset rate lock-ins is unchanged in scale. Watch for any reaction to US data later today, but for now, conditions remain orderly.
