US TSYS/STOCKS: Treasuries see some mild profit-taking at the session high

prices, 10Y yield is now at 2.180%, vs. 2.164% session low yield notched at 10am

ET.

- Tsys earlier had risk-off buying, and also FX-tied buying as US dollar receded

vs. Japanese yen; however since then, the dollar managed to come off the day's

lows so that FX-tied bid waned, for this moment at least. Tsys had good buying

of 40,000 TYU 10Y futures amid yen bid prior to 9:30am ET.

- Tsys also saw safe-haven bid on view stocks could keep sliding after Thursday

selloff; while stocks are still weaker, it is only a mild change on the day for

the S&P 500 for example (off 0.20%). But European stocks indexes are quite a bit

lower on the day: UK FTSE-100 off 1.02%, Cac-40 off 1.05%, others off

moderately.
