US EURODLR FUTURES
US EURODLR FUTURES: It was a very quiet start to the week, not entirely
surprising w/limited data, financial earnings in concert with a large increase
in corporate debt issuance this week ($45.5B vs. $47.9B last week). Though there
was little react to the actual Brexit vote result, domestic markets appeared
sidelined pre/post vote Wednesday and Confidence vote Thursday.
- FI futures markets remain very sensitive to China trade headlines with a sharp
ris-on move late Thursday (WSJ article positing Tsy looking at dropping China
tariffs -- disavowed by Tsy minutes later). Rates reacted similarly to Friday
headline that China "said to offer path to eliminate" trade imbalance with the
U.S., even though this was tabled last year.
- Meanwhile, continued dovish Fed-speak belied the slow drip lower in Eurodollar
Reds (EDH0-EDZ0) through Golds (EDH3-EDZ3) this week (-0.060 to -0.080 on net).
Lead quarterly EDH9 futures held steady at 97.310, while EDZ9 slipped -0.035 on
the week with the inversion vs. Red March (EDH0) futures coming of 0.025 by
midday Friday.
