US Opening Comments- Fixed Income

Posted:24/11/2008 13:27 by Keith Lobodzinski
European and US bond markets are facing selling pressure off the news of the $300bln loan guarantee to Citi plus Barclays shareholder approval to raise over $10.5bln from funds in the Persian Gulf. Bonds should continue to face selling pressure going into the Wall Street open , though losses may be limited given the fragility of the current market environment. Today’s light US economic calendar could also keep focus away from fixed income, though the October Existing Home Sales at 10:00e could provide a subtle reminder of the state of the US economy. The 10yr is off 16 tics to just below the 120 handle after bouncing off Thursday’s high at 119.70. Short end yields are for all intensive purposes are higher, though the 4week yield at 0.03% and 3month yield at 0.01% continue to see very limited interest. Fed Funds are trading at 0.75%, reverse overnight repos are anticipated. Today’s auction calendar includes $56bln in 3 and 6month bills and $36bln in 2year notes. click here to return to the top of the page
