US TSYS: T-Notes last -0-02 at 139-00, away from Thursday's late lows, supported

by a dip in equity futures in Asia.

- Thursday saw the contract sell off into the bell, despite the notable

month-end index extensions/rebalancing estimates, with a chunky $25bn worth of

Boeing 7-part issuance helping momentum late in the day, as the curve twist

steepened.

- The latest weekly initial jobless claims release printed higher than expected,

while the latest MNI Chicago PMI provided a softer than expected headline print,

as the rate of contraction witnessed gained speed.

- 3-Month LIBOR fixings continue to tumble.

- Thin liquidity set to be observed in Asia & European hours, owing to

widespread holidays.
