EGB SUMMARY: The EGB rally took another leg higher following the release of weak

US employment data Friday, with core yields and periphery spreads falling fast.

yield. 2-Yr and 10-Yr yields fell as much as 21bps though have since retraced.

- Spain/Portugal 10-Yrs are 4bps tighter to Germany; Greece in 7.5bps.
