Core FI drifting lower

BONDS
  • Core fixed income has drifted lower this morning but moves on the whole have been fairly subdued and limited to a just over a basis point. Even so Bund and gilt futures are all lower than Friday's lows.
  • Today's calendar is relatively light and with the Fed already in its blackout period and no BOE speeches scheduled there will be even more focus on today's ECB speakers. We are due to head from Vujcic, Visco, Panetta and Holzmann during the European trading session while are also due to hear from Lagarde at 17:45GMT / 18:45CET. Knot will join Vujcic and Lagarde as speakers tomorrow.
