US GOVTS: Eurodollars - Heavy Front Month Sales; Nikkei Rumors * Front Eurodollars are now seeing some hefty pressure as short-term funding fears, which were behind the heavy Eurodollar put spread buying earlier in the session, are escalating. Traders have been positioning for possible short-term funding problems in light of Japan's devastating earthquake and aftermath, by buying EDM 99-62.5/99-50 put spreads in decent size earlier, but are now seeking more protection by hitting front Eurodollars. * And the hit to EDJ1 to EDM1 has pushed up cash Libor funding expectations for tomorrow in the broker market to 0.3130% from today's 0.3090%. * Nikkei margin call fears are at the center of the funding jitters given that market's continued rout. Rumors swirl that the Japanese market exchange governing bodies may decide to close the Nikkei for a few days. This is a rumor only and unconfirmed.

they're in a recovery <ng> Fed Says Recovery Is Firm The Federal Reserve’s statement reveals that the Fed believes the economic recovery is growing stronger, the labor market is improving, and inflation is creeping back. Gone was the most negative language about labor market conditions. But gone also was the conclusion that measures of underlying inflation were headed downward. Back in January, the Federal Open Market Committee said that although the economic recovery was continuing, the improvement was “at a rate that has been insufficient to bring about a significant improvement in labor market conditions.” Today, the FOMC changed its tune. The economic recovery is no longer just "continuing"—it is "on a firmer footing. What’s more “overall conditions in the labor market appear to be improving gradually." At the same time, inflation has crept back into the FOMC’s analysis. Back in January, the FOMC described measures of inflation as "trending downward." They’re no longer doing that. These days they are trending up, although at a "subdued level." The Fed didn’t take any notice at all of recent events in Japan. It did note increasing commodities and energy prices. cnbc.com
