  • Peripheral spreads are wider , with Greece standing at 1.2bps.
  • It was a choppy open for Gilts, with early calls calling the contract to open lower, but this quickly changed, and the contract opened higher, after the bigger than expected reduction in the gilt remit for FY21/22.

  • Looking ahead, on the data front, US PMIs are the notable release.
