US TSYS
US TSYS: *** Treasuries hold near the day's price highs, after early gains on
futures led buying with 21,797 bought in TYZ 10Y at 8:16 am ET and 5,050 bought
at 8:18am ET. Tsys also bolstered by cross-market support as German Bunds
gained. Tsys shrug off early firmer data: -23K in initial weekly jobless claims,
23.8 Sep Philly Fed biz activity index. 
- Tsys saw some mild profit-taking on earlier curve flatteners. High-grade
corporate bond issuance speeds up a bit: Newcastle Coal 10Y, Northwest Mutual
Life 30Y and 3M Co. three-part debt deal of 5.5Y, 10Y, 30Y bonds.
- The Tsys market does face 1pm ET US$12B 10Y TIPS reopening auction today, but
TIPS supply does not normally affect nominal Tsys much. TIPS and nominal Tsys
are comparable, no one market outperforming. 
- Tsys should stay bid amid anticipation of Pres. Trump announcement on N.Korea,
expected to involve sanctions; not clear yet what exact time this announcement
will happen.
