US TSYS: Little to report on for the core global FI space in Asia-Pac hours,

with a Japanese market holiday limiting liquidity/price action. T-Notes hold a

0-02 tick range, last -0-00+ at 129-02. There was a lack of reaction to weekend

developments (which although high in news flow volume, did little to move the

needle re: broader sentiment). Limited/no reaction to a dip in gold & USD/Asia

FX crosses was seen. Cash Tsys will remain closed until London hours owing to

Japanese holiday.

- Fedspeak from non-voters Rosengren & Bostic headline Monday's local docket.

Late Friday saw Fed voting dove Kashkari note that "U.S. monetary policy is in a

holding pattern for now, but the next move may well be to cut interest rates

given signs the economy may be weakening," in an interview with RTRS.

- A reminder that the Sino-U.S. phase 1 trade deal should be signed this week,

likely Wednesday. U.S. Tsy Sec Mnuchin noted that Chinese commitments re: the

trade deal haven't been altered in translation. Elsewhere, the WSJ reported that

"the U.S. & China have agreed to semi-annual talks to push for economic reform

and resolve disputes."
