best levels) ahead of one of the most anticipated Employment Reports of all
time. Jun TYs up 2.5/32 at 139-12 (L: 139-04 / H: 139-16).
- Curve flatter though cash didn't trade in London morning (UK holiday).
- Range of Apr NFPs goes from -30mln to -8.6mln, median -22mln. Whatever the
headline number, could be some outliers to watch in average hourly earnings and
participation rates - will put something out soon on that.
- Though newsflow has been mainly risk-on, incl US-China trade representatives
breaking the ice in a phone call overnight. And stock futs continue to climb.
- Noteworthy that the Fed funds futures strip continues to imply negative rates
Dec20-Jan22, with contracts hitting new highs this morning. Theories abound,
most of which do not imply that the Fed will adopt a negative policy rate.
