Little to report for the core FI.......>

BOND SUMMARY: Little to report for the core FI space in Asia hours, with

activity relatively limited and news flow light. This left participants

assessing the state of U.S.-Iran tensions, as well as a headline Chinese CPI

print that was a touch softer than exp., but still elevated, dynamics centred on

pork prices. T-Notes holding a 0-04+ tick range, last +0-03 at 128-27. Yields

0.6-2.6bp lower across the curve, bull flattening evident. Eurodollar futures

sit 0.5-2.0 ticks higher through the reds.

- JGB futures have edged higher on the back of a solid enough 30-Year auction

which saw the price tail a touch wider than prev., cover ratio virtually steady

and low price a little above that exp. by dealers (proxied by a BBG poll).

Futures last -12 vs. settlement, with light twist steepening of the curve

evident.

- Aussie bond futures have stuck to a tight range, YM -3.0, XM -5.0, leaving the

curve a little steeper vs. settlement. Bills print 1-3 ticks lower through the

reds. No reaction to local trade data, with more of a focus on matters

surrounding corporate issuance.
