ahead Fri's May employ data. Equities surged to new session highs (ESM9 +19.25)
on headline suggesting possible delay in imposed tariff increase.
- Moderate two-way flow on net, volume well off week's pace, large curve blocks
(TYU/UXYU flattener; FVU/WNU flattener; TUU/UXYU steepener) light deal-tied
hedging, heavy option volume amid ongoing upside (re: rate cut) hedging while
some put buying emerged after Fed Kaplan struck more of a wait and see tone re:
easing.
- On tap for Friday: May nonfarm and private payrolls, unemployment rate and avg
hourly earnings; Apr wholesale inventories and sales; Q2 StL and NY Fed Real GDP
Nowcasts; April consumer credit. Mean est for May NFP holding around+180k to
