US TSYS
US TSYS: T-Notes move towards Friday's post-NFP spike high in early trade, but
last trade -0-01 at 131-28, with early support vs. closing levels coming on the
back of the latest BBG sources report which has suggested that "Chinese off'ls
are signalling they're increasingly reluctant to agree to a broad trade deal
pursued by Trump," which has weighed on risk at the start of the week.
Elsewhere, the impeachment enquiry continues to bubble, with the weekend seeing
Mark Zaid, the attorney representing the whistleblower, revealing that he is now
representing a second whistleblower in Trump-Ukraine matters.
- Bull flattening was the order of the day on Friday, with T-Notes edging away
from settlement levels into Friday's close. Friday's headline NFP print wasn't
as bad as many feared post-ISM surveys, as the unemployment rate moved lower,
with many attributing the softer than expected wage data to "compositional
effects." On the flow side, large TU/TY & TU/FV flatteners helped shape curve
dynamics.
- Hawkish Fed dissenter George is due up in ~15 minutes and will be followed by
dovish non-voter Kashkari on Monday.
