7:41 am Overnight Treasury Summary (BONDX) : Treasuries Flat Ahead of Employment Report

• Treasury yields are mostly unchanged overnight as all eyes turn to the July Employment Situation Report. After the abysmal Employment Cost Index growth in the second quarter (+0.2% versus a Briefing.com consensus of +0.6%), the Hourly Earnings component of the report could be the most important. The FOMC is still unsure of what the non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (:NAIRU) is after the structural damage to the U.S. economy from the financial crisis. There could be large reserves of disillusioned workers who are not actively job-hunting and therefore are not included in the unemployment rate. These workers would help keep a lid on wage growth as they reenter the workforce, allowing the Fed to delay interest rate policy normalization. That being the case, the FOMC is watching wage growth more closely than usual as an indicator of actual tightness in the job market rather than just assuming that an arbitrary unemployment rate foreshadows higher wage growth 
• After Atlanta Fed President Lockhart's remarks earlier this week (he said that he would need to see "significant deterioration" in the economic picture to oppose a September rate hike), the burden of proof appears to be on the doves. A small miss of the Briefing.com consensus for +235K nonfarm payrolls will not be enough to take a September rate hike off of the table

• "In our conversation late last week, you stated that Horizon (HZNP) was prepared to increase its proposal and to include a cash component of up to 25%. This was confirmed in an email late Friday night from one of your Board members to our Board Chairman. Yet you still have not made a new proposal. Instead, you have insisted that we need to first make a counter-offer. It does not make any sense to engage with Horizon unless you make a sufficiently compelling and detailed proposal. 
• You continue to be wrongly focused on a "premium to unaffected price", when you know that our so-called "unaffected price" did not take account of our recent strong results. What matters is the intrinsic value of Depomed and the contribution Depomed would make to the combined company. 
• Our Board takes its fiduciary duties seriously and will always be open to any compelling proposal that creates value for its shareholders, but we are prepared and committed to take actions that we deem appropriate to protect our shareholders' interests, even if it involves protracted litigation and a proxy fight."
