LNG: Argentina’s YPF in Talks to Add More Partners to LNG Project

• Most Desks have not seen a clear driver for that latest push lower especially in German Govies, which has been led by the German long end, as previously mentioned the 30yr Yield has reached its highest level in 14yrs, since August 2011.
• Volumes did pick up, with 30k Bund sold in the past 56 minutes, and Immediate support for Bund is at 129.12, the August low
• The US Rally has also faded, TYU5 is back to pre CPI levels, with very heavy seeling going through.

• German 30yr Buxl falls towards 115.00, helping push the Yield above the 2023 high of 3.263%, to reach its highest printed level since August 2011.
• The next big upside target would be situated at 3.30%, which today would equate to 114.37.

As usual, core services contributed the majority of overall core CPI in July, worth around 0.28pp of the 0.32% M/M reading. That's up from 0.19pp in June (on a core CPI reading of 0.23% M/M). 

• As seen in the table below, the increased services inflation pressure vs June's report was almost entirely due to airfares (0.05pp more of a contribution), lodging (0.03pp more, albeit still contributing negatively), and medical services (0.02pp more). The key housing categories had a relatively flat contribution vs June.
• Core goods once again contributed 0.05pp, though the composition was different this month: used and new vehicles contributed slightly positively (after subtracting 0.04pp in June), with all other core goods seeing their contribution fall to 0.04pp from 0.09pp prior.
