Very little to report for core.........>

BOND SUMMARY: Very little to report for core global FI in Asia hours.

- An uptick in U.S. equity index futures forced a break above their respective

Monday highs, applying some light pressure to T-Notes in the process, but

outside of that there was very little of note to report as liquidity was sapped

by a Japanese holiday (leaving cash Tsys closed until London hours). T-Notes

-0-03+ at 129-16+, a little below Monday's low. Flow-wise, there was a seller of

the TYZ9 132.00 calls on screen.

- Elsewhere, Australian bond futures did little. YM -1.5, XM -2.5. Corporate and

semi issuance remains the focal point of the early goings on this week, with

Tasmanian Public Finance Corp.'s mandate for a new benchmark A$ 2030 line the

pick of the bunch today.
