US TSYS/OVERNIGHT REPO: The overnight repo market saw the 10-year Treasury note
loosen up a shade Thursday with the current 10-year at -2.55 recently vs. a
-2.30% opening today and vs. -3.10% Wednesday and -1.00% last Friday, said
traders. They believed the action occurred ahead of next week's 3/10/30-year
auctions (which auctions will be announced today at 11am ET) but also amid some
others needing to cover  shorts, who need such issues and will pay up. Traders
estimated that  about US$7.0 billion in volume had been traded on the current
10-year  note in repo. Traders noted that the 10-year note for reg delivery also
traded tight at -1.75%.
- The US Treasury General Collateral meanwhile traded at +1.13%.
- Meanwhile the 3-year note continued to tighten, trading at +0.70% today vs.
