BOND SUMMARY
BOND SUMMARY: Early defensive feel has dissipated and risk appetite has
recovered, with U.S. equity index futures turning green. China's monthly LPR
fixing brought no surprises, with 1-Year & 5-Year rates left unchanged. T-Notes

trade. Eurodollars are unch. to -1.0 tick through the reds. Fed's Barkin told
MNI that tools like QE, YCC or forward guidance are less valuable if the yield
curve is low and flat. Looking ahead, 20-Year Tsy supply will be in focus in
Wednesday's U.S. hours.

sit lower save for 1s, with 20s & 30s outperforming ahead of today's auction of
20-Year JGBs. Japanese core machine orders are also due later today.
- In Australia, YM unch. & XM +3.0 at typing. Yield curve has twist flattened.
Bills last sit +1 to -1 tick through the reds. We saw some economic data out of
