US TSYS: Listen Before Speaking, Will Trump Address Nation?

US TSY SUMMARY: Quiet start to the week on light volumes in rate futures (TYU <
835k), Tsys weaker all day but off midmorning lows after the bell, yld curves
steeper. Tsys opened near overnight lows, extending bottom end of the range
despite weekend protests (at times violent with a minority setting fires,
looting) over social/racial justice after George Floyd's death. Multiple cities
including NY implementing curfews again tonight.
- Equities actually trading higher (ESM0 +10.0 after the bell) after Hang Seng
climbed
3.4% after Fri's speech by Trump proved ineffectual (trade angst cooled, at
least temporarily).
- Amazon 6pt jumbo lion's share of Mon's over $18B issuance;no coupon selling
this week.
- Many plied sidelines ahead week's headline data (prior, estimate), NFP
estimates improved while unemployment rate estimate nears 20%. 
- The 2-Yr yield is down 0.2bps at 0.1584%, 5-Yr is up 0.2bps at 0.3052%, 10-Yr
is up 1bps at 0.6624%, and 30-Yr is up 5.2bps at 1.4586%.
TECHNICALS:
US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (U0) Edging Lower 
*RES 4: 140-27   0.618 projection of Feb 6 - Mar 9 rally from Mar 18 low
*RES 3: 140-00   Round number resistance 
*RES 2: 139-25   Contract high, Mar 25
*RES 1: 139-13+/16  High May 15 / High Apr 21 and key resistance  
*PRICE: 138-27 @ 16:14 BST, Jun 01
*SUP 1: 138-09   Low May 18
*SUP 2: 137-30+ Low May 6 and key support
*SUP 3: 137-19+ Low Apr 14
*SUP 4: 136-20   Low Mar 25
10yr futures edged lower from the open, but key supports remain intact for now.
The range parameters are 139-16 at the top and 137-30+ at the base. The
underlying theme remains bullish, however futures still need to clear 139-16,
Apr 21 high to end the current consolation and confirm a resumption of the
uptrend that would target 139-25, Mar 25 contract high and the 140-00 handle.
Clearance of 137-30+, May 6 low would be bearish and expose 137-19+.
AUSSIE 3-YR TECHS: (U0) Softer Within The Range 
*RES 3: 100.000 - Handle Psychological Resistance
*RES 3: 99.840 - Range projection on a break of 99.780
*RES 1: 99.780 - High Apr 01 and bull trigger 
*PRICE: 99.720 @ 16:15 BST Jun 01
*SUP 1: 99.720 - Low Apr 15 / Jun 01
*SUP 2: 99.645 - Low Mar 20
*SUP 3: 99.565 - 100-dma
The short-end of the Aussie bond market has pulled back from recent highs. The
contract continues to trade within a range that has been in place since peaking
at 99.780 on Apr 1. A break of this resistance is required to confirm a
resumption of the broader uptrend and open 99.840, the range projection and the
100.00 psychological level further out. The base of the range at 99.720, low Apr
14/15 and marks the key near-term support.
AUSSIE 10-YR TECHS: (U0) Key Supports Remain Intact
*RES 3: 99.4850 - High Mar 10 and bull trigger
*RES 2: 99.3600 - High Apr 01 
*RES 1: 99.2250 - High Apr 17 
*PRICE: 99.0650 @ 16:22 BST, Jun 01
*SUP 1: 99.0200 - Low Apr 9
*SUP 2: 98.7800 - Low Mar 23 
*SUP 3: 98.5700 - Low Mar 20 
The roll resulted in lower prices early Monday. Key support remains at 99.0200,
Apr 9 low where a break is still required to confirm a near-term bearish
outlook. The lower peaks since Apr 2 suggest futures are likely to break the
support eventually. This would open 98.7800 initially, Mar 23 low. On the
upside, key resistance is located at 99.2250, the Apr 17 high. Clearance of this
level would instead be bullish.
JGB TECHS: (M0): Turning Lower
*RES 3: 154.56 - High Mar 13 
*RES 2: 153.50 - High Mar 16
*RES 1: 153.06 - High Mar 31 and key resistance
*PRICE: 152.04 @ 16:34 BST, Jun 01
*SUP 1: 151.99 - Low Apr 20
*SUP 2: 151.86 - Low Apr 9
*SUP 3: 151.59 - Low Mar 26
JGB futures extended recent weakness Monday, keeping focus on recent support at
152.15/16 and a fall through here will damage the outlook. A break if seen,
would concern bulls and expose the 152.00 handle and support at 151.86, Apr 9
low. An ability to hold above supports and more importantly a break of 153.06,
Mar 31 high is required to confirm a bullish cycle and allow for a recovery
towards 153.30, Mar 16 high.
TSY FUTURES CLOSE: Quiet start to the week on light volumes (TYU < 835k), Tsys
