DC Fiscal Matters Still Dominate

US TSYS

A narrow re-open for T-Notes, with the contract last +0-02+ at 137-30, after edging away from session lows into the NY close.

  • The curve finished a little steeper on Tuesday, with 30s cheapening by a little over 2.0bp, on the back of the mood music re: Brexit, COVID-19 vaccine positives and some support seemingly gathering behind a slimmed down fiscal support package in DC (the sounds from the GOP leadership have been on the positive side, with a bi-partisan leadership meeting on the Hill set to reconvene later this evening). Markets looked through local data releases. Flow-wise, a downside screen play in USG1, in the form of 7.0K USG1 169.00/167.00 put spreads trading and a TY/WN flattener block headlined.
  • Fiscal matters in DC will likely garner the most attention during Asia-Pac hours, with no tier one data releases on the regional docket.
