US TSY FLOWS
US TSY FLOWS: Nascent risk-on tone evaporated late, rates inched higher as eqs

program >1280 stocks.
- Tsy yld curves mostly steeper as long end underperformed. Notable Large
5s/Ultra-bond steepener block in early trade: +39,682 FVZ 112-11.5, buy through
-10 post time offer, -7,235 150-04, post time bid.
- Slow data day, little substance from multiple Fed speakers w/Mn Fed Pres
Kashkari, Fed Gov Brainard, Philly Fed Pres Harker and Philly Fed Pres Harker.
Quiet US Tsy bill auctions: $164B total 4-, 8-, 13- and 26W.
- Rates inched off lows midday, gained traction as equities reversed, deal-tied
flow, prop and fast$ two-way in intermediates. Swap flow: receivers in 2s at
3.091%, payer in 4s at 3.13625%, two-way in 5s from 3.1394% to 3.13737%, 2s3s5s
