US TSYS

TYM3 deals at 115-19+, +0-05, in line with late NY levels.

  • Cash tsys sit 2-7bps richer across the major benchmarks, the curve bull steepened.
  • Tsys extended higher as the ISM gauge of manufacturing activity printed softer than expected remaining in contractionary territory. Measures of prices paid, new orders and employment also fell sharply.
