Core FI off the lows but still down on the day
BONDS
- Core fixed income has moved off of its lows of the day, but has still trended downwards for most of the European session. There are no real headline drivers for the moves, but the move lower seems to be the market taking a bit of a breather after the rally which started shortly after the US CPI data was released on Wednesday. Curves have been bear steepening in general (although the gilt curve has been seeing more of a parallel shift).
- Economic data is a bit on the thin side today with the highlight being the release of Michigan confidence data later today (including the inflation expectations component).
- Speakers so far this morning have done little to move the needle. Forthcoming speakers include Fed's Kashkari and Mester as well as the ECB's Nagel and Schnabel.
