  • The German Bund and broader Bond futures have extended onto Yesterday's gains after the US said that an interim deal to re open the strait could be imminent as per Qatar, Rubio and Bessent.
  • That news provided a notable move in Yields, pushing the German 10yr Yield from a 3.209% high on Friday to what should be quoted just under 3.10% into Today's session.
  • The US 20yr Yield got close to a 5.30% print on Friday and has fallen down to 5.1427% at present.
  • After printing a 19yrs high, the US 30yr Yield has unwound 13bps in just 2 sessions, now at 5.1470%.
  • Some will see the next resistance in Bund at 125.74, but seeing better at 125.77. Support moves up to 125.04.
  • Today's Services PMIs are final readings for France, Germany, EU, UK and US. US ADP is also due, but the overall focus will be on the US ISM services later this afternoon.
  • SUPPLY: Germany sells €500mln of 2029, 2035, 2053 respectively (shouldn't impact Futures).

Recent short-term gains in EURGBP have allowed an oversold trend condition to unwind. The trend needle, however, continues to point south and the latest recovery is considered corrective. Key resistance and a pivot level to watch, is the 50-day EMA at 0.8581. It has been pierced, a clear break of it would signal scope for a stronger recovery near-term. Key support and the bear trigger lies at 0.8455, the Jul 15 low.
