| 06:20 EDT |  | | Nymex crude traded back below $96 bbl
Nymex crude traded back below $96 bbl, leaving it 0.45% lower, in line with other losses across the commodity market complex. However, the much stronger than expected German manufacturing orders data could boost commodities amid hopes that a revival in activity would boost demand for raw materials. Tomorrow's trade data from China will also be an important barometer for commodities. In recent weeks, concerns over the China outlook have added some weight, but the local press expected China Q2 GDP to pick up to 8% and HSBC also tipped H2 growth to accelerate in the statement released with today's earnings report. |

| 15:30 EDT | | | Treasury Closing Summary:
Treasury Closing Summary: Post-payrolls declines on Treasuries extended on Monday, albeit at a slower pace with the absence of Tokyo and London for bank holidays and no real data for the markets to mull over. There were moments of excitement that punctuated the calm, such as when ECB's Draghi reaffirmed the bank's easing bias, but these were rare. Any risk aversion from reputed Israeli airstrikes on Syria was lost in the momentum in favor of risk assets for now. The Fed Senior Loan Officer survey revealed slightly easier banking standards in some areas, along with stronger loan demand. |

| 12:10 EDT | | | Treasury's $53 B 3- and 6-month bill auction was strong
Treasury's $53 B 3- and 6-month bill auction was strong. The $29 B 3-month bill was awarded at 0.040%, just through the 0.045% at the bid deadline. There were $143.3 B in bids for a 4.96 cover, up from last week's 4.86. But, indirect bidding remains light for this tranche at only 10.3% compared to 6.7% previously. The $24 B 6-month bill stopped at 0.075%, also inside the 0.08% at the bid deadline. Bids totaled almost $128 B for a 5.37 cover, down modestly from 5.43 previously. Indirect bidders took 29.7% compared to last week's 39.4%. |

| 11:25 EDT | | | U.S. corporate debt: a 2-trancher from Ford Motor Co.
U.S. corporate debt: a 2-trancher from Ford Motor Co. sits atop the lean investment grade calendar, which also has small deals from Federal of a $250 M 10-year, Piedmont's $250 M 10-year and Xcel's $400 M 3-year issue. Things are actually a bit more lively in the high yield sector, as GM is stepping in with a $2 B triple trancher of 3-, 5- and 10-year legs. Other assorted HY offerings include Barminco, Buena Vista, Commercial, Fidelity, Ion, Iracore, LBC Magnetation, among others. Though still defensive after payrolls, the fixed income market should be able to absorb this week's supply. |

| 11:10 EDT | | | Treasury cut 4-week bills by another $10 to $20 B for Tuesday's sale
Treasury cut 4-week bills by another $10 to $20 B for Tuesday's sale. The volume is down from $45 B on April 15. The surge in Treasury receipts (see our report) has allowed the debt managers to reduce bill volumes to keep cash balances under control. Remember in the debt limit suspension bill, the government prohibited the Treasury from building a war chest of cash. Supply is heavy this week with the $72 B May refunding on tap. |

| 11:00 EDT | | | Euro$ interest rate futures eased
Euro$ interest rate futures eased to start the week as the rate complex remains jittery following Friday's payrolls, but other signals continue to point to a slowdown. The Jun 2013 contract is a half-tick lower, while the deferred contracts are off 0.5-1.0 ticks. Following this nervous pattern, 3-month dollar Libor settled higher at 0.2751% from 0.2731%, though the 3-month dollar Libor/OIS spread held at 14 basis points. There's not much on the economic docket for the rate market to sink its teeth into, but supply starts with 3-year notes tomorrow, which could keep the pressure on until over a hurdle or two. |
