US TSYS
US TSYS: Quite a tame Asia-Pac session for Tsys, with no notable news flow,
outside of a potential deepening of the COVID-19 situation in China's Harbin.
Fiscal matters developed in line with expectations, while President Trump
imposed the touted immigration ban, with certain caveats. T-Notes have held a
tight range as a result, with the contract last dealing +0-03+ at 139-16, just
off best levels after drawing support from Brent crude futures cratering to the
lowest levels seen since '99. Yields 0.8-3.5bp richer across the curve, which
has bull flattened. Swaps spreads little changed.
- On the flow side, we saw 2.0K of the USM0 180/177 put spread bought on block
vs selling 2.0K of the 189 USM0 calls, package traded at -6 (credit). This comes
after a similar trade saw 2.0K of the USM0 178/175 put spread bought on block
during Tuesday's Asia session vs selling 2.0K of the 189 USM0 calls. There was
also a 2.5K block lift of the TUM0 futures overnight.
- Eurodollar futures +0.5-1.0 through the reds.
- Comments from New York Fed officials headline a like local docket on
Wednesday.
