| 12:40 EDT |  | | Treasury $13 B 10-year TIPS reopening:
Treasury $13 B 10-year TIPS reopening: the offering has pretty much been lost in the Fed QE shuffle and given it's already limited audience. The subdued inflation outlook is the main problem for the auction, according to sources, which limited demand at last month's 5-year TIPS. However, the issue has been cheapening and that could bring in some buyers looking for some cheap insurance. The wi 10-year trades at -0.255% versus a -0.602% award rate at the March reopening and -0.630% at the January new issue. The breakeven trades around 224 bp versus 243 bps in mid March. The March reopening saw a 2.74 bid cover, up fractionally from the 2.71 in January. |

| 12:30 EDT | | | Hilsenrath on CNBC says the Fed is having a hard time delivering its message to the markets
Hilsenrath on CNBC says the Fed is having a hard time delivering its message to the markets, both in terms of the "when" and "how." He added that using the word "taper" is incorrect and connotes steady, progressive action, which is not what Bernanke is saying. The Fed Chairman said yesterday the Fed will move in "steps," as Hilsenrath wrote a couple of weeks ago (Fed mapping an exit), which won't necessarily be the "clear and steady path the markets expect." According to Hilsenrath, often a Fed mouthpiece, the Fed will reduce buybacks, the watch the effect, and either continue or not. That's the "how" and it should give policymakers more flexibility and hopefully keep markets from over-reacting. Hilsenrath also echoed what analysts've been saying that the "when" -- the start of QE step down DEPENDS on the data, such that the Fed. If data provide evidence of substantial and sustained improvement, the FOMC could announce a step down over the next few meetings, or it might not. |
