Feb-03 19:02
  • Treasuries have climbed out of a narrow/lower channel in the last few minutes does not appear to be headline driven, but more risk-off as stocks continue to extend lows in second half trade (SPX eminis -108.5 at 6894.0).
  • TYH6 taps 111-21.5 high (+2.5), important resistance to watch is 112-07+, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of the 50-day average is required to signal scope for a stronger recovery.
  • Curves mildly flatter: 2s10s -.376 at 69.999, 5s30s -.550 at 106.959.

EUROPEAN INFLATION: Jan HICP Tracking Slight Upside Risk To 1.7% Y/Y Consensus

Feb-03 18:49
  • Our tracking estimate for Eurozone HICP sees risks fairly well centered on the rounded consensus of 1.7% Y/Y in January, although with a slight upside skew on an unrounded basis, after 1.94% Y/Y in December.
  • Firmer prints around Germany's 2.1% Y/Y on Friday (2.0% cons) helped counter surprisingly soft France at 0.38% Y/Y today (0.6% cons).
  • This is based on a little less than 2/3 of the country reports with flash HICP having come from Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland.
  • Belgium has released CPI data but the HICP measure will only be published with its final figures this time, adding some uncertainty here after a large moderation in its CPI measure from 2.06% in December to 1.10% Y/Y in January .
  • Tomorrow sees Dutch and Austrian HICP ahead of the pan-Eurozone print, with Italian figures to be released alongside the bloc-wide reading.
