US EURODLR FUTURES: *** Lead quarterly Jun Eurodollar futures seeing some decent
volatility today, first rallying on the back of this morning's 3M LIBOR drop
(-0.1305 to 0.5561%, -0.3310/wk). 
- EDM0 has since 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. 
- Under FAQ section, page 13: " Although financial institutions are
transitioning to more robust reference rates, LIBOR remains the most common base
rate used in business lending, even though firms cannot rely on LIBOR being
published after the end of 2021. Consistent with the recommendations of the
Alternative Reference Rates Committee, Eligible Lenders and Eligible Borrowers
should include fallback contract language to be used should LIBOR become
unavailable during the term of the loan."
- With more focus back on LIBOR now, any slack in sets' is likely to be reduced.
