US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: US Tsys continuing to weaken following the initial post-nonfarm
payrolls rally Friday amid modest relief regarding the lack of escalation in

with the curve slightly steeper with 2s/10s 1.5bp wider. Volumes have been very
thin though.
- During Asia, Treasuries slipped lower as there was no new US/China trade war
rhetoric while resignation of UK Brexit Secretary had little impact.
- Tsys expended their fall as European trade got underway, weighed by fall in
both German Bunds and UK Gilts as markets took positives from the fall out of
David Davis resigning, increase in German exports and surprise improvement in
Eurozone Sentix investor confidence. 
- The Eurodollar strip has edged lower, with the reds 1.0-3.0 ticks lower, with
red, green and blue contracts moving in parallel. US breakevens are touch wider
while swap spreads are slightly tighter.
