US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: The cash Treasury market has resumed the downward drift that
began on a very illiquid Friday session. Interestingly, the TY future has not
reacted in any significant way to a rally in Bunds and then a sudden drop.
- Contract rolls are the order of the day with most contract rolls around 30-40%
complete as of Friday. First notice is on Thursday. There is some decent
movement on the 2Y note contract roll, which reached 6/32nds today.
- The Treasury curve has resumed its curve flattening with 2-5Y yields up
1.3-1.6bp but the 10Y movement is only 0.7bp higher at 2.35%. the 2-10Y spread
is 59.2bp today, just 1bp from a decade low.
- Today sees 2Y and 5Y note auctions squeezed into the same trading session and
the 7Y follows tomorrow. Short-maturity supply pressure is added to by the usual
3m and 6m bills. 
- However, the market is most concerned by Central Bank speakers this week and
particularly Jerome Powell's confirmation hearing tomorrow.
