US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: Tsys firmer but near middle of range, curves mixed but mildly
steeper for most part, heavy futures volume tied to ongoing Dec/Mar futures
rolling (March takes lead Friday). 
- Somewhat misleading China/US trade headlines around 0230ET (TRUMP, XI AGREED
TO REACH MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL AGREEMENTS) spurred brief risk-on react: Tsys sold
off, equities rallied, US$/Yen jumped. Little in way of specifics (agreeing to
agree on mutual benefits...) however, saw risk-on quickly retrace, Tsys jumped
back near highs but have since settled into lower range, equities lower w/Jan 1
tariff increase threat still present. Back to headline watching (UK PM
May/Brexit, Italian budget, etc). 
- As to flow, better buying early, two-way after London cross w/prop and fast$
selling intermediates after program buying, heavy futures volume on
aforementioned rolling, corp deal and Tsy auction-tied selling, month end
buying.
- Tsy cash/ylds: 2Y 99-27 (2.831%), 5Y 99-30 (2.887%), 10Y 100-18 (3.057%), 30Y
101-05.5 (3.312%).
