MARKET TALK
MARKET TALK: Spill over from NY trade evident at the electronic re-open, after
risk-on flows came to the fore during NY hours, largely on the back of two
matters:
- 1) The Fed announced "updates to the Secondary Market Corporate Credit
Facility (SMCCF), which will begin buying a broad and diversified portfolio of
corporate bonds to support market liquidity and the availability of credit for
large employers. As detailed in a revised term sheet and updated FAQs, the SMCCF
will purchase corporate bonds to create a corporate bond portfolio that is based
on a broad, diversified market index of U.S. corporate bonds."
- 2) A RTRS source report which noted that "the United States will amend its
prohibitions on U.S. companies doing business with China's Huawei to allow them
to work together in standards setting for next-generation 5G networks, according
to people familiar with the matter."
- The end result was risk positive, with the USD on the defensive, giving a very
different feel to what was observed in Asia-Pac hours. E-minis have edged higher
since the closing bell on Wall St., with T-Notes offered.
