US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: Treasuries have steadied after some early volatility and heavy
volume in overnight trading as midterm results came in, remaining higher as the
split Congressional result (R Senate/D House) is digested.
- T-Note futures are 5/32 higher at 118-05, trading in a broad range with low of
117-23 seen a little after 0900ET as results were coming in.
- Plenty of volume in futures, TYZ8 nearing 1 million (961k).
- Major bull flattening in the curve: 2-Yr yield down 5.1bps at 0.876%, 5-Yr
down 8.1bps at 2.265%, 10-Yr down 7.6bps at 3.321%, 30-Yr down 4.6bps at 3.895%.
- Eurodollar futures higher across the strip, with Greens and Blues leading the
way, up 1.5-2.0 ticks.
- With midterm results largely as expected, attention turns to Fed; no change
expected Thursday but changes to statement eyed, and IOER cut a tail risk.
- Fairly light on data today (MBA mortgage applications, Fed LMCI; also US Tsy
$19B 30Y bond auction).
- Pres Trump holding a news conference at 1130ET.
