Regional coronavirus worry was evident in...>

US TSYS
US TSYS: Regional coronavirus worry was evident in Asia-Pac hours (with a focus
on a growing South Korean case count & 2 deaths of elderly passengers from
Japan's Diamond Princess ferry), this outweighed the initial optimism that
surrounded the moderation in the Chinese daily new virus case count (which was
based on methodological changes). The PBoC's latest round of LPR fixings, which
delivered cuts that met exp., did little to support broader risk appetite.
T-Notes operate just shy of best levels, +0-02 at 131-04+, comfortably above the
early lows, 0-03 high off best levels. Yields sit 0.4-0.8bp lower across the
curve. Block flow saw 20.0K TYH0 131.50 calls lifted, 10.0K of USH0 164.00 calls
lifted (over 2 clips) and 7.0K of USH0 161.50 puts lifted. There was also a
20.0K block buyer of the 1x2 TYK0 130.50/129.50 put spread.
- Eurodollar futures sit unchanged to 1.0 tick higher through the reds. Steady
selling of EDM0 98.875 calls was seen early in Asia. Elsewhere, we saw the EDZ0
98.375/98.250 put spread bought vs 99.375 calls.
- Fed's Barkin speaks today, we will also see weekly jobless claims data and the
latest Philly Fed biz survey.
