US TSYS
US TSYS: US T-note futures are extending yesterday's gains with the recent
sideways trading range giving way to the upside, last dealing at 119-11. 10-year
cash yields are back down at 3.0334%, testing last Friday's lows. 
- The space is being driven by relatively hawkish comments by Fed Chair Powell
who noted in a speech that interest rates are 'just below' neutral, hinting at a
reduced pace of tightening.
- The 2s-10s spread has edged back down from yesterday's news-driven spike to
trade down 0.7bps at 24.10bps. 
- Eurodollar futures have also extended their gains as Dec hike odds decline. 
- Breakevens rose yesterday on prospects of slower tightening and the relief
rally in stocks, undermining real yields.
- U.S. focus turns to personal income/spending due today and the Trump-Xi
meeting Saturday. Elsewhere, FOMC Nov meeting minutes will be released later
today, with some Fedspeak scheduled for Thursday & Friday.
