<ul>
<li>Miserable economic data continues. Trade geopol is mixed. Territorial geopol getting more serious. SOUTHBOUND gross volumes up, but not high. </li>
<li>SOUTHBOUND rebounded cutting its weekly net sell streak at one. ETFs again a net sell. NORTHBOUND net data is not not released on a daily/weekly basis; only quarterly.</li>
<li>As expected (with AH 20d Premia returns at multi-year highs 3wks ago), AH Premia fell slightly, narrow premia falling more than wide premia. I continue to expect more H-vs-A gains.</li>
