Monday recap: After a brief retrace around midday, spds forged wider in the
second half, rebounding off new all-time lows in front tapped last week. Early
directionality w/higher Tsy ylds in first half gave way to rate paying and spd
curve flatteners in 2s vs. 5s and 10s so far, also decent pick-up in deal-tied
hedging.
