Weaker Amid Tech Rout; Fed Speakers And 3-Yr Supply Ahead

US TSYS SUMMARY

Tsys remained on the back foot overnight Tuesday, finding little respite despite a continued rout in equities (led again by tech stocks). A busy Fed speaker schedule and 3-Yr supply lie ahead.

  • Nasdaq futures off 1.3%; dollar weaker. Notably, Tsys outperforming Bunds and Gilts. Of some note: overnight, 10-Year JGB auction drew its lowest bid/cover ratio since 2015.
