US TSYS
US TSYS: Monday's Asia session has been quite limited, with the definite feel of
a U.S. holiday session. Focus on the Coronavirus remains evident (daily case
counts have moderated from levels seen last week, although daily death counts
remain > 100). Increased hope of fiscal stimulus in China, coupled with relaxed
financing terms for companies directly hindered by Coronavirus supported
mainland China equity markets, applying some weight to core global FI. The
PBoC's 10bp cut to the rate applied to its 1-Year MLF facility was welcomed,
although the amount offered was perhaps a little shy of exp. (the MLF & daily
OMOs accounted for a cumulative net drain of CNY700bn on Monday, but the PBoC's
easing bias remains well and truly intact). Elsewhere, tier 1 local data wasn't
as supportive for risk, with weak Japanese GDP data evident, stemming from the
sales tax hike/natural disasters.
- T-Notes -0-03 at 130-28+, in a 0-04+ range. Cash Tsys are closed for

- Eurodollar futures sit 0.25-2.0 ticks lower thru reds.
