A busy day ahead, the 2.30% level will be watched

BUNDS
  • There's very little change in Bund, after the contract fully reversed Yesterday's post German CPI rally, in part helped by the US Labour Data.
  • It's another tight 11 ticks range going into the cash open and the 2.30% level remains key.
  • Looking at the Futures chart it could be forming a falling wedge, typically bullish, and so far the short term weakness is seen as such, and to be corrective.
  • Month end should have limited impact in Europe, these are on the small side, while the UK is set to contract, so a non event.
  • For the US, these are below averages, but still ok, so a late bid into the unofficial EU close can't be ruled out, still should be limited.
  • Support will then be at the 2.30% mark for Bund, this equated to circa 133.64 Yesterday, equated to 133.66 on Tuesday.
  • The resistance fell down to 134.51 Yesterday, and that held, after printing a 134.49 high.
  • Above the latter, would open to 134.70, and more importantly 135.18, which has held for over two weeks.
  • It is another busy day on the Data front, EU, France, Italy, Portugal prelim CPIs, France prelim GDP, Portugal final GDP, US core PCE, MNI Chicago PMI, and final Michigan.
  • SPEAKERS: ECB Schnabel, Rehn, Kazaks, Simkus, Muller.
