  • Treasury futures rebounded briefly in reaction to steady BoJ policy announcement early overnight, followed by moderate position squaring ahead the extended US holiday weekend (Juneteenth national holiday Monday, Globex closes 1300ET) as rates see-sawed lower, 10s tapping113-05 low, trades near steady at 113-13.5, yield 3.7187%.
