• Tsys opened weaker, carry-over from Thu's hawkish Fed comments from Mester and Bullard (don't count out 50bp hike if necessary), but whipsawed off lows after ECB Villeroy comments (ECB in restrictive territory, action after March "less urgent").
• Rates settled into higher range by midmorning after Richmond Fed Barkin said steady quarter-point interest rate increases until inflation is on a sustainable path back to 2% provides the best flexibility for the Fed to respond to incoming data.
