US SWAPS
US SWAPS: *** Spds running mixed, spd curve flatter w/30Y extending to new
all-time inverted lows in early London trade (-87.0, -21.25 tighter than late
Thu). That said, long end spd has rebounded significantly w/Tsys off lows, but
still remains near 2007 inverted lows. Ongoing factor affecting long end Tsys
appears to be domestic/foreign real$ acct sales for liquidity liquidity: balance
sheet re-allocations include SP, FX and swap accts. Latest Spd levels

ranges with the 30Y spd making new inverted low of -60.0!. Spds had gapped
wider/off broadly tighter lows (long end) earlier in response to NY Fed annc
