The aforementioned swing in risk.......>

BOND SUMMARY
BOND SUMMARY: The aforementioned swing in risk tone pressured T-Notes, although
they still sit some way above settlement levels, +0-15+ at writing, with the
long end underperforming on the curve for the duration of the session. Yields
now higher on the day across the curve. It was another choppy overnight session,
punctuated by thinner liquidity, with the Fed's latest round of liquidity
operations and broader scope for FI purchases/announced ops doing little to take
the edge off of things, for now.
- JGB futures whacked lower in Tokyo hours, some pointed to unwinds of FX-hedged
trades from off shore, with the moves seen in USD/JPY x-ccy basis. Elsewhere, a
lack of take up at the BoJ's latest round of repo ops, and a hastily announced
5-10 Year round of BoJ Rinban operations were also seen. Contract still 85 ticks
lower on the day. Curve twist flattened, swaps notably tighter.
- Aussie bonds were hit hard on the back of the turnaround in risk, with
domestic equities staging an almighty recovery, and then some. YM -12.0, XM
-21.0 come the close. Funding pressures still evident with 3-Month Bill/OIS back
to the top of the recent range.
