US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: Treasuries are a little weaker to open Thursday as Wednesday's
hawkishly-perceived FOMC minutes continue to be digested. 
- In contrast to European curves which are bear steepening with short-ends
anchored, the US Tsy curve is flattening: 2-Yr yield up 1.1bps at 2.8991%, 5-Yr
up 0.9bps at 3.0667%, 10-Yr up 0.4bps at 3.2089%, and 30-Yr up 0.4bps at
3.3757%.
- Eurodollar futures remain under a bit of pressure, particularly focused on
Reds, which are off 3.5-4.0 ticks.
- Saw a big 5-Yr futures block earlier, 31k Dec18 @ 111-307(05:29:00EST).
- Fed's Bullard & Quarles speaking later Thursday, with 30-Year TIPS supply also
due.
- Coming up later are initial jobless claims and the Philly Fed Business Outlook
indicator. The level of initial jobless claims is expected to fall by only 1,000

7,000 to a still-low 214,000 level in the previous week
