BOND SUMMARY: Core FI stick to relatively tight ranges as the impact of

U.S.-Iran tensions has eased. Little of note on the news wires so far; U.S. VP

Pence's spokesperson said that he will be giving a speech on Iran policy next

week. T-Notes last trade -0-00+ at 129-07+. Cash yields sit marginally around

neutral levels. Eurodollar futures print -0.5 to +0.5 tick through the reds.

- JGB futures have lost altitude, last trade -27 ticks vs. settlement at 152.07.

Firmer Japanese equity benchmarks add pressure to the space, while the worsening

in Japanese Jibun Bank services PMI (slipped into contraction) & composite PMI

has been shrugged. JGB yields are broadly higher across a slightly flatter

curve. The focus turns to today's 10-Year JGB supply.

- A weak ANZ job advertisements reading in Australia triggered modest upticks in

YM & XM, which now trade +1.0 & unch. respectively. Even before the release,

Aussie bond futures seemed less willing to sell off than some of their global

couterparts. Aussie yield curve has twist steepened a tad, while bills trade

+1-3 ticks through the reds.
