Very little of note for the Tsy........>

BOND SUMMARY
BOND SUMMARY: Very little of note for the Tsy space overnight, with cash Tsy
markets closed until London hours owing to the elongated Japanese holiday
weekend. T-Notes held a 0-02 range as a result, and last print unchanged at
139-18. Fiscal matters continue to dominate local headline flow, with
suggestions that Senate majority leader McConnell may introduce the GOP's
stimulus plan on Thursday, via several bills. Elsewhere, the SCMP has suggested
that China will move to close the U.S. consulate in Chengdu, in a retaliatory
act re: the closure of the Chinese consulate in Houston. N.B. the closure of the
Chengdu consulate had been touted as a potential retaliatory move, so this
doesn't present any real source of surprise, if true.
- JGBs were closed, as mentioned.
- Aussie bonds look through the much awaited JEFU update, with many of the key
details front run by local media reports. There was no roll forward of income
tax cuts. The curve flattened on the day, with YM last trading unchanged and XM
+2.0, with the contracts holding to familiar ranges, as the long end of the cash
curve outperformed, despite the impending ACGB '51 syndication.
