  • Volumes have once again been decent, but moves have been calmer.
  • Peripheral spreads are all tighter this morning, Italy lead by 2.8bps versus the German 10yr.
  • Gilts have mostly traded inline with Bunds, translating in a flat Gilt/Bund spread, but we are nonetheless still trading close to that 2019 peak at 121.01 (also widest since 2016), now at 119.1.
  • Looking ahead, we no tier 1 data out of the US, and most of the focus will be on another packed session full of speakers, which today includes, ECB Centeno, Stournaras, Maklouf, Lane, Guindos, Lagarde, Elderson, Fed Powell, Daily, Bostic, and BoE Bailey
