outbreak risk threatens soft landing; Mn Fed Pres Kashkari: virus outbreak isn't
a major risk to the U.S. economy; while Fed Chair Powell will be "closely
monitoring emergence of coronavirus."
- More from Fed chair: current stance of monetary policy will support continued
growth, a strong labor market, and inflation returning to the 2% target, Powell
said. Round two for Powell Wednesday.
- Several TYH block sales, some vs. Bunds, "catalyzed" after dovish MNI sources
story "Chances Rise Of ECB Rate Cut On Data, Coronavirus" made the rounds.
- Midday risk-on unwind after Bbg headline "FTC TO EXAMINE PAST ACQUISITIONS BY
LARGE TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES" spooked markets. The 2-Yr yield is up 2bps at
1.4133%, 5-Yr is up 2bps at 1.4076%, 10-Yr is up 1.9bps at 1.5885%, and 30-Yr is
