BONDS: Still Underpinned

BONDS

Net reaction to the U.S. data is dovish at the margin, allowing Bund and gilt futures to register fresh session highs, although resistance areas of note go untested before a fade from best levels.

  • Pre-market recovery in stocks of tech giant Nvidia, coupled with reaction to the data, leaves S&P 500 e-minis at fresh session highs, now +0.46%.
  • That may be limiting the rally in bonds.
  • Impact of today’s rally in oil less clear when it comes to cross-market spill over, given the risk-off nature of the drivers (which also promoted demand for bonds).
  • Bunds still the outperformer on the day, both vs. broader DM peers and within EGBs.
