US TSYS
US TSYS: Early buying flow in TYZ9 supported Tsys, although a sharp drop in JGBs
dragged T-Notes away from highs as we moved towards London hours. Contract last
+0-04 at 129-01+, with yields 0.8-1.3bp lower across the curve. A block trade
was seen in the long end in late Asia hours: 5.0K USZ9 159/158 put spreads sold
at 0-34 vs. 7.5K USF0 157/155/153 put ladders bought for 0-25. A source noted a
"similar amount of premium for both trades, appears a/c is rolling out their
downside exposure."
- Headline flow was light, with some focus on regional U.S. voting matters,
although the outcomes have provided little volatility for the space. Elsewhere,
Eurodollar futures print 1.0-2.0 ticks higher through the reds. Block activity
was also noted here: 0EG0 98.625/98.750/98.875 call ladder 40.0K bought on block
at 0, while 30.0K of the 0EF0 98.500/98.375 put spread was sold on block at 5.5.
- Fed speak from Kashkari & Kaplan has offered little new over the last 12 hours
or so.
- Fed's Williams, Evans & Harker all due Wednesday, 10-Year supply also slated.
N.B. Tuesday's concession made for a solid round of 3-Year supply.
