T-Notes went out at/near best..........>

US TSY/RECAP
US TSY/RECAP: T-Notes went out at/near best levels, recovering late on after
stronger than expected EZ PMI & U.S. ISM non-m'fing data applied some pressure
earlier in the day.
- Focus continues to fall on U.S.-China trade headlines. U.S. Secretary of State
Pompeo noted that Trump "will walk" if the China trade deal is not "perfect,"
although he followed this up with a more pragmatic tone: "will keep banging away
at it" if deal "doesn't work".
- Fedspeak was hardly compelling. Fed's Rosengren pointed to patience, noting
that downside risks have increased recently. Fed's Kashkari suggested that the
economy has not reached a state of full employment, while Fed's Barkin stated
that wages have started to increase.
- Tuesday saw two-way flow & position squaring ahead of mid-week data, as well
as decent deal-tied flow.
- U.S. ADP and the release of the Beige book headline on Wednesday, with Fed's
Williams and Mester set to speak.
- T-Notes last 121.28+, U.S. 10-Year cash Tsy yields closed at 2.717%.
