Treasury futures spiked sharply on the CPI print, hitting 112-06 before fading into the close. Despite the intraday reversal off highs, the bullish theme persists, supported by the clearance of the bull trigger at 112-12+, the Jul 1 high, on the NFP reaction. Prices remain toward the upper-end of the range, keeping the May 1 high at 112-23, the next upside level. Clearance here opens retracement levels layered between 113-07 and 113-23. On the downside, key support is 110-08+, the Jul 14 and 16 low. First support lies at 110-19+, the Jul 24 low.

MNI’s inflation breadth tracker shows disinflation overall continuing to stall in Germany in July: 

• Looking at the low-inflation categories, the percentage of ECOICOP items printing at or below 1% Y/Y was unchanged at 40% while the percentage in high-inflation categories (above 5%) also declined marginally from 15% to 14%.
• The 1-3% range offset this, rising from 24% to 25% although there was still 21% in the 3-5% range, with the latter technically at its highest since February and slightly above the 19% averaged over the past year.
