US SWAPS
US SWAPS: Spds running mixed, wings tighter vs. wider intermediates now. Decent
receiving in
2s-10s macro fund and banks, 5s30s steepener overnight. Recent 2Y switch, $100k
2s4s5s fly, paying the belly. Latest spread levels:
* 2Y  -0.25/24.94
* 5Y  +0.44/10.25
* 10Y +0.38/1.62
* 30Y -0.62/-18.12
Monday recap: Spd curve on session flats vs. continued steepening in Tsys, short
end extending wider/but long end that marched tighter, back to mid-Jan levels
(-16.0). No confirm, but spd curve stop-outs likely in play. Short end heating
up in overnight repo adding to move in short end. If Fed announces bank
de-regs/softer leverage ratios, would be a good place to enter. However, after
Fri's sanction against Wells Fargo, is probability of softer bank reg's falling?
Earlier flow included flatteners in 5s vs. 7s and 10s, $457.6k 5s6s30s fly,
paying belly and $165.2k 2s4s7s fly, receiving belly.
