US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: *** Tsys trading modesty weaker at the moment, near low end of
narrow range on decent volume (TYH>430k), latter again largely tied to ongoing
March/June roll action ahead Wed's first notice (June takes lead). Aside from
flurry of data, focus today on Fed Chair Powell's inaugural testimony before
House Fncl Services Comm Tue at 1000ET (statement released at 0830ET), hopefully
providing additional policy insight during the question and answer session. US$

gold weaker (XAU -1.55, 1331.92); West Texas crude softer (WTI -0.15, 63.76).

crossover amid two-way trade.
- London, early rebound was short lived with Tsys making new lows in early
London trade. Flow included real$ selling in 7s prop and bank portfolio buying
in 10s early. Renewed selling from fast and real$ in belly as EGB's traded lower
