  • Dec 10-Yr futures (TY) down 13.5/32 at 130-14.5 (L: 130-14 / H: 130-24), on solid volumes (~410k). Note Friday's low was 130-13+.
  • The supply schedule is busy, with a truncated holiday week ahead: 1130ET sees $51B of 26-week bills and $58B 2Y Note auction; at 1300ET is $57B 13-week bills and $59B 5Y Note auction. (And Tuesday we get $59B 7Y and $24B 2Y FRN).
