US TSY FUTURES
- Fast two-way on wide range post-data has segued to better buying with short end outperforming as markets continue to digest stronger than expected core services CPI while goods prices contracted.

- General opinion from trading desks: this morning's data does little to change Fed's policy path (no change next week but with a hawkish tone for year end if inflation percolates higher).
