EGB SUMMARY: Bunds have ground higher through the day today as a modestly risk

positive sentiment has helped equities move a little higher.

- The focus remains on how lockdown procedures will be reversed with France

pointing to continued travel restrictions and working from home for another 3

weeks, some shops to begin reopening from 11 May and with schools likely to

re-open some time in May.

- This week's ECB meeting (and tomorrow's Fed decision) are also playing on the

market's minds.

- ECB sources story out earlier, contact us for access.
