US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: Everything is selling off again, with Treasuries taking another
battering overnight, and S&P futures limit down 5% (the SPY ETF is off 6.6%,
suggesting further loss potential after the bell).

- What will we see on the fiscal front? Reports of a $1+trn stimulus including
hundreds of billions in direct payments to individuals failed to assuage markets
in the face of Treas Sec Mnuchin talking about 20% unemployment rates possible.
- What can the Fed do next? We`ve seen a bit of relief in some areas of
short-term funding since yesterday`s Fed announcements but hardly clear sailing.
- Talk of more 2008 facilities being revived, including TALF (see
Bernanke/Yellen column in the Financial Times for an example).
