EGBs/GILTS: A bit of bouncing around...>

BOND SUMMARY
BOND SUMMARY: EGBs/GILTS: A bit of bouncing around for European FI in the early
going, but now steady for the most part. Global equities shot higher after
0800GMT for no particular reason - core FI dipped but has largely bounced back.
- Mar Bund futs up 3 ticks at 171.49 (L: 171.35 / H: 171.62), while Gilts are
down 14 ticks at 133.15 (L: 133.04 / H: 133.4). Periphery EGB spreads steady.
- Pretty limited data slate today. We get ECB Dec meeting accounts at 1230GMT;
President Lagarde speaks in Frankfurt after hours (1800GMT).
- Sovereign issuance is done for the week after a breakneck few days, though
other EUR sales continue to pile up (ENI new 10-Yr Benchmark, Canada EDC E1bln
5-Yr, etc).
