⚑ Treasurer's Note — PWLB rates nudged up 2–4bp at the morning reset, with the long end and belly leading the move. No major data or news is driving this shift, so the move likely reflects routine market adjustment rather than a change in macro outlook. If you are watching for entry points, note that the next reset will depend on any developments ahead of the midday fix.
