US TSYS
US TSYS: T-Notes last trade unch. at 127-15, with the curve bull steepening at
the margin. Little to report on the headline front, with some light focus on
some punitive U.S. tariffs on Mexican & Chinese steel products.
- S&P 500 e-minis managed to breach their post-NFP lows, which leant some light
support to the Tsy space.
- Eurodollar futures trade 0.5 tick lower to 1.0 tick higher through the reds.
Flow wise, the highlight was 40.0K of the 0EN9 98.250 puts blocked at 0.0150 vs.
40.0K of the 0EQ9 98.250/98.125 put spread blocked at 0.0500. A source noted
that the 0EN9 98.250 puts were sold vs. the 0EQ9 98.250/98.125 put spread as the
package traded for 0.0350.
- Focus turns to Fedspeak, with Powell, Quarles, Bostic & Bullard all due to
speak today, although the focus of Quarle's & Powell's comments will be on the
stress testing of the banking sector. Powell will, of course, appear on the Hill
on Wednesday & Thursday. JOLTS data provides the highlight of the economic
release calendar, with 3-Year supply also due.
