| 05:59 EDT |  | | SEC charges Illinois for misleading pension disclosures
The SEC charged the State of Illinois with securities fraud for misleading municipal bond investors about the state’s approach to funding its pension obligations. An SEC investigation revealed that Illinois failed to inform investors about the impact of problems with its pension funding schedule as the state offered and sold more than $2.2B worth of municipal bonds from 2005 to early 2009. Illinois failed to disclose that its statutory plan significantly underfunded the state’s pension obligations and increased the risk to its overall financial condition. The state also misled investors about the effect of changes to its statutory plan. Illinois, which implemented a number of remedial actions and issued corrective disclosures beginning in 2009, agreed to settle the SEC’s charges. |

| 07:25 EDT | | | Treasury Market Outlook: Treasuries are little changed
Treasury Market Outlook: Treasuries are little changed, though there is a mild bid in the market. Trading volume was predictably light ahead of the FOMC announcement (14:00 ET). The 10-year yield ranged narrowly around 2.17%. The 2-year yield is at 0.26%. Core bonds overseas are slightly higher with Bunds outperforming. Equities are mixed with European bourses mostly lower, with the exception of the DAX, while Japan's Nikkei posted a 1.8% advance in contrast to losses around the region. There wasn't much data. Japan showed an encouraging 10.1% y/y rise in eqports. BoE minutes showed a 6-3 vote to refrain from more QE. The U.S. calendar is thin with just the MBA mortgage applications report, which showed a 3.3% decline for the week ended June 14. The only other items on the slate are oil inventories. There is no Fed buyback today. |
