US TSY FLOWS
US TSY FLOWS: Generally quiet start to the post Memorial Day holiday week,
belying heavy volumes across the curve. Rate futures extended session lows as
equities climb higher (ESM0 +66.0) in early trade, Tsys holding to a narrow
channel for much of the session.
- Massive volumes a little deceiving, TYM >3.3M after the bell mostly due to
Jun/Sep roll ahead Fri's first notice. Otherwise, more normal volumes driven by
risk-on selling. Yld curves bear steepening, 2s/10s >51.0. 
- Swap spds running tighter across the curve, moderate unwind of last week's
expansion to session lows. Rate locks vs. incoming swappable supply helping keep
spds in range.
- Appears to be some risk-off (risk-on unwinds) after the bell on following
US/China headlines: "U.S. MULLS SANCTIONS ON CHINESE OFFICIALS, FIRMS OVER HONG
KONG" Bbg
- The 2-Yr yield is up 0.8bps at 0.1758%, 5-Yr is up 1.3bps at 0.3462%, 10-Yr is
up 3.3bps at 0.6916%, and 30-Yr is up 5.9bps at 1.4293%.
