Second half trade so quiet since the...>

US TSY FLOWS
US TSY FLOWS: Second half trade so quiet since the 3Y auction tailed, easy to
overlook that Tsy futures have finally broken range, extending session lows, yld
curves bear steepening again. Not a risk-on moment w/equities weaker (ESH0 -6.0)
and Gold higher (+4.06), Tsys partially pressured by second day of heavy
deal-tied hedging. While underlying geopol risk remains lack of visible
retaliation/further offensive moves is spurring some unwinding safe haven
support.
- Second consecutive session of better than expected corporate issuance: $17.85B
total, $45.5B two-day total generated decent hedging flows, swap-tied paying.
Tsy futures Block sale: -5,000 FVH 118-31.5, sale through -31.75 post-time bid.
