AUSSIE
AUSSIE: Another busy overnight session in Aussie rates, as US 10-Year yields
broke through the key 2.60% level. 
- Aussie futures followed the sell-off on good volume, with YMH8 testing
yesterday's post-employment 97.72 low, as the curve held steady at 56.5. 
- Flows were active across the curve, with good interest in receiving short-end
RBA dates and IRS, supported by the view that cash to 3-Year yields are at
extreme levels.
- AUD/USD is last up 5 pips at 0.8005, but off early session highs at 0.8012.
Hearing the dip after the jobs data beat yesterday was longs bailing on
expectations of an even stronger number as well as comparatively weak Full Time
Jobs gains. The pair now up over 1% on the week so far.
- Limited data on the session in Asia, focus will likely be on moves in USD and
UST's as the US government seeks to avoid a government shutdown, the current
funding deadline is January 19. Democrats in the Senate claim to have votes that
would block a funding extension to Feb 16, seeking to force the GOP's hand on
immigration reform.
