US TSYS
US TSYS: Core FI largely looked through the mixed bag of Chinese economic data,
which was headlined by the first GDP fall on record, with a broader focus on
some (perhaps misplaced/circumspect) hopes surrounding COVID 19 medical
developments (see earlier bullets for details) that hit in late NY trade.
- T-Notes edged away from worst levels, in the wake of the Chinese data, but
still trade through yesterday's lows, last -0-17+ at 138-22, with yields
2.3-4.0bp cheaper across the curve, after the long end unwound earlier
underperformance. Swaps generally a touch tighter across the curve.
- No real attention given to President Trump's daily COVID-19 briefing, as he
unveiled his re-opening plan (which was leaked in NY hours) and pointed to being
past the peak of new COVID-19 cases.
- T-Notes see ~153K lots change hands as of typing, a much more active Asia
session vs. what we have seen since Easter.
- Eurodollar futures print 1.0 to 5.0 ticks lower through the reds, bear
steepening.
- An address from Fed's Bullard headlines a light local docket on Friday.
