US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: Treasuries have drifted higher since yesterday's settlement. In
a quiet European session for data, focus has remained on US-China trade
discussions with reports last night suggesting that China will retaliate if the
US imposes tariffs this week followed up by a Global Times story that China is
"prepared for any outcome".
- Geopolitical uncertainties have continued elsewhere too, with reports that
North Korea has tested two missiles.
- The data calendar is busier today with PPI, claims and trade data all due for
release. Powell, Bostic and Evans are all due to speak too. MNI also ran an
interview this morning with Kansas City Fed economist Less Smith who said that
the IOER could be cut again.
- TY1 futures are up 0-8+ today at 124-00+ with 10y UST yields down -3.5bp at
2.450% and 2y yields down -2.5bp at 2.273%.
