US TSYS
US TSYS: T-Notes -0-01 at 130-18+, drawing support from a CNBC headline noting
that the "White House tells airlines it may suspend all China-US flights amid
coronavirus outbreak."
- Contract snapped back from London peak on Tuesday, as market started to
question how much of a systemic issue the Coronavirus is. Push higher in London
hours came on the back of Hong Kong outlining measures to protect itself from
Coronavirus, with the move extending on hedging owing to a break of 131-00 in TY
(short TY 131.00 call positions were previously highlighted), with 10-Year
yields bottoming out around ~1.57%. Yields were 3.5-5.5bp cheaper across the
curve come the close. The bounce in domestic equities then started gathering
pace, allowing the curve to steepen. FV/WN steepener block added to the impetus,
with a sub-par 7-Year note auction also seen. Screen trade saw a recently
established TYH0 130.75 straddle position added to. Further late pressure into
the close on the back of strong earnings numbers from Apple, which saw the tech
giant trade higher after hours.
- Eurodollar futures print unchanged to 0.5 tick higher through the reds.
