Core global curves hold steeper.
- TY futures traded through overnight lows and 10-Year Tsy yields breached last week’s high, but the move has since stalled, pointing to a flow-/technical-driven move, as opposed to anything highly committal on fresh news.
- Early London lows in Bund futures hold, while gilts continue to outperform.
- Ongoing weakness in the long end of the JGB curve and bull steepening of the gilt curve (dovish comments from BoE Governor Bailey & weak private labour market data) still present the meaningful market talking points on the day, in addition to U.S. tariff threats and heightened U.S.-Russia tension.
