Yields flat to up 2bps with curve steeper to start the day, 2Y at 4.88% and 2Y at 3.985%. Overnight the RBA was on hold at 4.1% for 2nd straight meeting, which was a bit of a dovish surprise. Elsewhere in Asia, China data continues to skew week. European PMI's looked ok. Today we get JOLTS which is of interest to the "data-dependent" FOMC. On the calendar is JOLTS, construction spending, ISM Mfg. today. Looking ahead, the size of Treasury Coupon issue to be announced tomorrow is an under-looked area of market focus.
"We think they are days from failure. They think it is a temporary problem. This disconnect is dangerous."
