  • Risk remains tilted to the downside.
  • Peripheral are mostly mixed, but Greece is sticking out, with the Greek/German 10yr spread 4.5bps wider.
  • Gilts sees December now front month, with the majority of the rolls done, 83% complete.
  • Looking ahead, US, sees GDP and Core PCE, but these are second readings, so unlikely to move the needle.
