The early part of today's..............>

BOND SUMMARY: The early part of today's Asia-Pacific session has seen little in

the way of news flow, while the release of somewhat disappointing Japanese trade

data has had little immediate impact on the FI space.

- T-Notes last trade -0.01+ at 122.29+. U.S. 10-Year cash Tsy yield sits at

2.593%, with cash yields trading 0.2 to 0.5bp higher across the curve.

Eurodollar contracts trade 0.25 to 1.0 tick lower through the reds.

- JGB futures last trade at 152.84, 5 ticks above settlement, as the Nikkei 225

has ebbed off of best levels. Cash yields trade 0.4bp lower to 0.3bp higher

across the curve. Worth noting today the BoJ left the sizes of its 1-5 Rinban

ops unchanged vs. the previous operations..

- Aussie bonds have played catch up to Tsys, but otherwise have stuck to tight

ranges. Yields are 0.4 to 0.8bp lower at writing, while YMM9 trades +0.5 tick at

98.52, with XMM9 1 tick higher at 98.025, while YM/XM trades marginally lower.
