Core global FI edged lower in Asia.....>

BOND SUMMARY: Core global FI edged lower in Asia hours, with spill over from

Friday's NFP report & rally in U.S. equities evident, with the move also aided

by U.S. Comm Sec Ross' positive musings re: trade.

- T-Notes last -0-03+ at 129-29, with cash Tsys closed until London hours owing

to a Japanese holiday, which limited flow. Eurodollar futures sit 0.5-2.0 ticks

lower through the reds.

- Aussie bond futures gained some brief respite from softer than expected

domestic retail sales data, before edging lower again, although bears haven't

managed to force a break below the SYCOM lows in either YM or XM. YM -4.0, XM

-7.5. Bills 2-3 ticks lower through the reds. Focus now moves to the rhetoric

employed at tomorrow's RBA decision.

- JGBs were closed owing to the aforementioned Japanese holiday.
