⚑ Treasurer's Note — PWLB rates have eased back by 1–3bp at the morning reset, with no material curve distortion or macro catalyst. This leaves the window for new loans marginally cheaper, but the overall rate environment remains elevated. With no significant data or news flow, attention turns to tomorrow's FOMC minutes for any global rate implications.
