US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: CORRECTION. WRONG ARTICLE TITLE. Following the weekend
elections in Italy, the yen strengthened (very slightly), Euro dropped and core
global bond yields fell. Treasuries took part in the process and on Friday the
10Y yield was trading at 2.86% but at one stage in early European trading, it
had fallen to 2.81%.
- However, despite the indisputably market-unfriendly election result for Italy,
the political threat was quickly brushed aside. Italian debt came back rapidly,
allowing core bond yields to rise and the UST 10Y is back to 2.842%. This
represents a 2.2bp decline from the NY close and the curve move has been fairly
parallel.
- The risk-off trade is no longer obvious as 2-5Y swap spreads have declined
relative to Friday. The 3Y leads with a 0.5bp drop to 21.5bp.
- The S&P mini index future points to a 0.17% decline at the open of US stock
trading. 
- It is payroll week but today's data has only the ISM service sector data for
February.
