No real catalysts in Asia-Pac trade, with...>

US TSYS
US TSYS: No real catalysts in Asia-Pac trade, with little reaction to the prev.
outlined round of MLF injections from the PBoC (see earlier bullets for details)
& mixed Chinese data. Fed's Kaplan added little new to the debate. T-Notes held
a narrow 0-03+ range, sitting a little shy of yesterday's peak, last -0-03 at
139-10+, with yields 0.1-0.7bp cheaper across the curve. The only flow of note
overnight saw sources point to a 2.0K block roll out of an existing long
position in the USM0 180.00/175.00 put spread, which was sold for 0-23 ticks,
and into a USN0 structure, which saw the USN0 178.00/174.00 put spread bought
against the USN0 186.00 call, with that leg of the package trading at 0-14.
- Eurodollar futures sit +0.5 to -1.5 through the reds, with slight
outperformance in the front end of the strip. A reminder that yesterday saw
focus fall on the latest note from Credit Suisse's Zoltan Pozsar, who suggested
that LIBOR/OIS will compress to 10-20bp by the end of June (due to US$ swap
lines and prime MMF inflows), which allowed the front end of the Eurodollar
strip to recover from lows during NY trade.
- Today's local data deluge is headlined by retail sales & flash UoM survey.
