  • Participants continue to attempt to assess the market impact of Moody's late Friday move to revise the U.S. sovereign rating outlook to negative (Moody's are the only 1 of the 3 major rating agencies that still give the U.S. a AAA rating), although impact appears limited for now.
  • TYZ3 at 107-13+ trades at the high end of the overnight session’s narrow range on subdued volumes of 250k compared to regular heavy overnight sessions of recent weeks.
