US TSYS: TSYS EXTEND RALLY, INGNORE STRONG US$, MNTH END BID

US TSY SUMMARY: Tsys finished at/near top end of range Wed, ignoring jump in US$
vs. majors and tighter sovereign spds, focus on another steep drop in equities
(FANG shares lead), strong month end buying adding impetus to move.
- US$ index higher (DXY +.596 to 95.272 vs. 95.417H; US$/Yen +0.21 to 110.23 vs.
110.26H); equities reverse Tue's gains (emini -23.0, 2699.0); gold mildly weaker
(XAU -0.33, 1251.96); West Texas crude surged again, adding to Tue's rally (WTI
+1.77, 72.30 vs. 73.03H).
- Relative quiet start, two-way flow on decent overnight futures volume coming
into the NY session (TYU>475K on open), better buying in intermediates to long
end accelerated later in second half on month end extensions. Muted deal-tied
flow. 
- Swap spds mildly wider for the most part, short end wider (quoted over new
issue), 10Y lagging move. Sporadic flow includes 2-way in short end, decent rate
paying in 4s around 2.855-.865%, 2-way 2s5s spd curve flow and 3s4s flatteners.
