BOND SUMMARY
BOND SUMMARY: Early focus has fallen on matters surrounding the weekend OPEC+
meeting (which concluded with an extension to coordinated output curbs), China's
trade data and Friday's particularly upbeat U.S. NFP report. U.S. equity index
futures & the Nikkei 225 have crept higher on the back of this positive impetus,
but both T-Notes & JGB futs have inched higher.
- T-Notes last deal +0-01 at 137-04, though yields sit marginally higher in cash
trade, with curve running a tad steeper. Eurodollars last seen unch. to +0.5
tick through the reds.
- JGB futures have crept higher and last trade unch. at 151.58, +2 tick vs.
settlement & slightly off an earlier high. Cash JGB yields trade slightly lower
across the curve. As expected, Japan's final Q1 GDP was revised to indicate a
smaller contraction than shown by the preliminary reading. Meanwhile, monthly
BoP current account surplus shrank more than expected. Eco Watchers Survey is
due later today.
- Australian markets are closed for a public holiday.
