T-Notes have edged lower and last trade -0-02 at 138-08. Cash Tsy curve has bear steepened, with yields sitting unch. to +2.1bp. Eurodollar futures run unch. to +0.5 tick through the reds.

Cash JGB yield curve runs steeper. The latest address from BoJ Gov Kuroda contained little in the way of fresh insights, focus turns to 6-Month Bill supply.
