December 23, 2019 Headlines
Treasury prices are modestly higher on light volumes this morning. U.S. equity futures are higher ahead of the open on reports that China plans to cut tariffs on a range of goods, as well pledging to further open several industries to outside investment. Treasuries could be a bit more volatile this week amid $113 billion of new issuance (2’s, 5’s, and 7’s) and relatively light market participation. This will be our last daily commentary of 2019. It’s been a great year, and we wish everyone Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
