US TSYS: A limited re-open for T-Notes, with the contract last +0-01+ at 129-06.

- Focus falls on the intensification of matters in Hong Kong (see earlier

bullet) & a weekend phone call between top level Sino-U.S. trade negotiators,

with Xinhua reporting that "the two sides had constructive discussions on each

other's core concerns in the "phase one" deal, and agreed to maintain close

communication." Elsewhere, the weekend saw NYT report the following: "The Trump

admin is set to once again extend a license that will allow American companies

to continue doing business with Huawei, the Chinese telecom giant, people

familiar with the deliberations said." The weekend also saw comments from Fed's

Daly, though she failed to add much new to the MonPol debate.

- Friday saw mixed data out of the U.S., with the details/revisions of the

latest retail sales report a little disappointing, despite the marginal headline

beat for the headline m/m print. The Empire Manufacturing print was soft, as

were the latest industrial and manufacturing production prints. T-Notes stuck to

a tight range, on low volume in the final session of last week.

- TIC flow data & an address from Fed's Mester headline Monday's local calendar.
