AUDUSD TECHS: Trades Through The 50-day EMA 

• Treasuries are still mostly weaker after the bell - but swinging off late lows following late comments on LinkedIn from SF Fed Daly, that tariff-tied inflation is likely a one-off, that inflation/labor market are in tension, and lastly that "it will soon be time to recalibrate policy"
• Tsy Dec'25 10Y futures currently trades -.5 at 112-18.5 vs. 112-20.5 morning high, initial technical resistance above at 112-28.5 (2.000 proj of the Jul 15 - 22 - 28 price swing).
• Curves mildly steeper: 2s10s +3.597 at 60.622, 5s30s +4.177 122.498.
• US$ remains stable near modest lows (BBDXY -.39 at 1200.81.)

• The Eurozone final PMI surveys for August are due for manufacturing on Monday and services on Wednesday.
• The flash PMIs were surprisingly robust as the composite increased to 51.1 for another 0.2pt improvement, up from the 50.4 averaged in 1H25 and its highest since May 2024.
• Drivers were mixed however, with manufacturing leading the monthly improvement to 50.5 whilst services cooled to 50.7 as the two closed what has been sizeable divergence.
• This week's final readings should confirm that countries other than Germany and France have still been outperforming but by less than previous months.
• Since the flash PMI release, the European Commission's economic confidence index was softer than expected in August as it shifted back close to levels averaged in 1H25 and is comfortably below its long-term average.

A bear threat in JGBs futures remains present and the contract is trading  closer to its recent lows. A resumption of weakness would signal scope for an extension towards 136.57, a Fibonacci projection. The first important resistance to watch remains 141.48, the May 2 high. Clearance of this level would be viewed as a bullish signal. Initial short-term resistance is 139.05, the Aug 4 high. A breach would be a positive development for bulls.
