US EURODLR FUTURES
US EURODLR FUTURES: After a quiet start to the week, Eurodollar futures began to
move higher ahead of Fed Chair Powell's testimony on Tuesday before drifting
higher still following a weak housing starts print. Wednesday saw the Eurodollar
strip hit its peak of the week before increased optimism surrounding Brexit
helped pull the strip lower with most of the move happening between
8:30-10:00ET. The strip was generally flat through the rest of the day and into
Thursday when a better than expected GDP print and MNI Chicago PMI print saw
another decent move lower for the strip. Friday trading has seen the strip
continue to grind lower albeit with a brief tug higher from a poor ISM print.
- The Eurodollar curve has steepened in the White area (H9-Z9) with the rest of
the strip 3-4 ticks lower. The biggest moves were seen in the U0-U1 area.
- From its nadir earlier in the weeks the EDZ9/EDZ0 spread rose from -0.21 to
-0.15 now. Levels out the strip have been under pressure since Wed but the front
end has been well supported as 3M LIBOR continues to recede.
- The week ahead sees some more housing data among the highlights with payrolls
at the end of the week the big event of the week.
