| 13:50 EDT |  | | Philly Fed hawk Plosser: 2BTF reforms are falling short
Philly Fed hawk Plosser: 2BTF reforms are falling short and Basel III requirements may be simply too low, arguing that higher leverage ratios could be based upon bank size, interconnectedness and complexity. He views higher capital as unlikely to be prohibitively costly and has serious doubts about breaking up too-big banks. Plosser warns that Dodd-Frank is too arbitrary, unpredictable and vulnerable to politics, suggesting that a new Chapter 14 bankruptcy law would be far preferrable. He still feels creditors believe they will be bailed out by the government and is not a fan of the living will program. Overall he seems pretty sour on the process, but at least is offering some alternatives. No near-term monetary policy implications. |

| 13:15 EDT | | | Treasury Action: solid bond auction results
Treasury Action: solid bond auction results helped knock long-yields back down to session lows again as the refunding wraps up in style and the relief rally spreads as smoothly as the likely distrubution in the secondary market. The current 30-year yield stalled out ahead of the 3.0% area ahead of the sale and plunged back down to 2.95% in its wake, compared to the 2.98% award rate that priced slightly through the WI. |

Euro$ interest rate options: put spread flood continues, padding outstanding positions according to sources. "50k in Short Dec 92/95 put spreads were sold vs Green Dec 86/90 put spreads" in addition to a like trade of 100k two days ago. Jun 2012s remain slightly lower near 99.72, with little of this hefty options activity spilling over to underlying futures per se. |

| 10:25 EDT | | | FX Action: The dollar showed no reaction
FX Action: The dollar showed no reaction to the wholesale data, which is normally the case, and the dollar remains at, or near session highs versus major currencies. The previously noted dollar buy order appears to have run its course, and overall, the greenback is on a more stable footing now. |

| 10:15 EDT | | | Treasury Action: yields held steady near highs
Treasury Action: yields held steady near highs despite the weak wholesale sales data, with stocks still in shallow negative territory and the dollar on the warpath. The 10-year yield is testing overnight highs in the 1.80/1.81% area, having bounced from 1.78% after the claims drop. The curve remains steep heading into the 30-year bond auction later and a small TIPS purchase by the NY Fed not really material. The 2s-30s spread is wide of +276 bp. |
