US TSY FLOWS
US TSY FLOWS: Tsy weaker across the curve after the bell, near second half lows.
Weaker Gilts/Bunds helped get ball rolling earlier as did Carry-over/or
resumption of selling after yesterday's FOMC minutes that were deemed less
dovish than expected. Heavy corporate issuance (and $8B 30Y TIPS auction) added
additional pressure along w/option-tied hedging ahead Fri's March Tsy option
expiration. 
- Rolling will most likely continue unabated ahead Feb 28 first notice date But
current trade evaporating after London close -- and ahead Fri's head-line item.
Release of Fed's semiannual policy REPORT ahead of Chairman Powell's testimony
on Feb 26. That said .. DC colleagues don't think much will be drawn from the
report to Congress Fri, usually a dull recap of all FOMC has done last 6 mos.
- Note on swap spds, short end has narrowed back to 3-year lows, 2Y spd
currently -1.25 at 9.81, the 10Y spd nearly inverted again, also tied to
incoming swappable supply.
- Tsy cash/ylds: 2Y 99-30.25 (2.527%), 5Y 99-30.25 (2.510%), 10Y 99-13.5
