US TSY FUTURES
US TSY FUTURES: Extended lows last few minutes, modest bounce in the long end.
Several factors at play this morning: rush of corporate issuance in addition to
multiple Tsy bill and note auctions ($48B 26W Bill and $42B 2Y Note) with rate
locks and pre-auction short sets weighing at a time where market participation
is thin/light volumes (TYM less that 400k). Sidebar: hedging for a failed 2Y
auction, some 40,000 Jun 2Y puts bought last 30 minutes. Update:
* 3M10Y  +4.897, 52.265 (L: 44.982 / H: 53.186)
* 2Y10Y  +3.190, 40.412 (L: 37.471 / H: 40.615)
