US TSY FLOWS
US TSY FLOWS: Futures pressed late, volume spike (TYM climbed to 1.375M from
appr 1M in minutes after close) on month end dislocations: Tsys extended session
lows late even as equities held lows (hear $40B sell imbalance), while WTI
gapped to 19.22 briefly. Larger than expected Boeing 7pt jumbo debt issuance
over estimates at $25B helped trigger selling; some desks citing technicals on
another press to downside overnight. Unsurprisingly, yld curves bear steepen. 
- Tsys extended highs prior to PMI data have scaled back slightly even after the
worse than expected 35.4 number vs. 38.0 est (47.8 previous).
- Lead quarterly Jun Eurodollar futures saw decent vol today, first rallying on
the back of this morning's 3M LIBOR drop (-0.1305 to 0.5561%, -0.3310/wk). EDM0
inexplicably reversed course w/ initial speculation over precipitous 3M LIBOR
drop is overdone w/ futures anticipating a rebound. Key to move is in FRB Main
St lending program details where program loans will be based on LIBOR instead of
SOFR.
- The 2-Yr yield is down 1.2bps at 0.1897%, 5-Yr is down 1.3bps at 0.3545%,
10-Yr is up 0.9bps at 0.6361%, and 30-Yr is up 2.7bps at 1.2773%.
