US TSY FLOWS: Heavy volume (TYH>2.4M) on choppy session for rates, Tsys bid
after the bell -- but well off session highs to near session lows as risk-off
support waned on the heels of the World Health Org conference declaring
international health emergency. In other words: buy the rumor, sell the fact.
Risk-off unwind theme in late trade.
- Large short end sellers pre-data, appr -15,000 TUH from 108-01.25 to -01.75,
decent two-way flow in post data trade. Bit of risk-off unwinding noted
midmorning as equities climbed off lows -- in-line w/ JPY/USD. Rates held near
highs to await delayed WHO conf, flow included fast and real$ buying
intermediates, real$ and bank portfolio buying long end.
- While corona virus spd headlines will likely continue to drive vol here,
suspect month end flow to help keep futures in range. 
- The 2-Yr yield is up 0.4bps at 1.4167%, 5-Yr is up 0.5bps at 1.4107%, 10-Yr is
up 0.7bps at 1.5907%, and 30-Yr is up 1.8bps at 2.0567%.
