US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: Markets are finding some light relief that there has been no
reaction from either Russia, Iran and Syria following coalition missile strikes
late Friday apart from a few choice words and has lead to US Treasury yields
squeezing higher on light risk-on flows. US 10-yr yield last 2.8bp higher at
2.854%.
- The space moved lower in early Asia-Pacific dealing as markets discounted the
US-led missile strikes on Syria as a "one-off", but did manage to pare losses as
markets looked to reaction at European open.
- Bunds opened on the soft side and then extended losses as equity markets
opened positively and Treasuries duly followed with the current 2-yr yield
hitting fresh multi-year high of 2.384%.
- Swaps are running a little tighter in the main, although notable flow has been
limited in space. While Euro$'s are 1 to 2 ticks lower
- US retail sales headline the economic docket this week, and will hit on
Monday, with FOMC voter Bostic & non-voters Kaplan & Kashkari set to make
addresses on Monday.
