The Asia-Pacific session has been......>

BOND SUMMARY: The Asia-Pacific session has been very quiet so far, with regional

data failing to move the needle. T-Notes trade -0-02 at 129-13+. Cash Tsy yields

fluctuate around neutral levels. Eurodollars sit -1.0 to +0.25 through the reds.

- JGBs sold off as the Nikkei 225 opened on the front foot amid talk of a fiscal

stimulus package that the gov't might deploy in the near future, esp. after

today's miss in industrial output. Meanwhile, the BoJ will today announce its

monthly bond-buying schedule, which may be adding some pressure to the space.

JGB futures last trade at 153.18, -11 ticks vs. settlement but off earlier lows.

Cash JGB yields have edged higher. Little in the way of reaction to a slew of

Japanese data releases. In the local news, Japanese and South Korean officials

held talks on potential lifting of Tokyo's export curbs and there are more

meetings scheduled through Dec.

- In Australia, YM -0.5 & XM -2.0 ticks. Cash yield curve has steepened a tad.

Bills last seen -2 to +1 tick through the reds. The AOFM released its weekly

issuance schedule, which can be accessed in earlier bullets. Private sector

credit grew slower than exp., but it was ignored by Aussie FI.
