  • 2y/10y bunds closed -8bp/-6bp as the BoE delivered a rate cut and data spurred concern over slowing growth; German unemployment unexpectedly ticked higher, while US initial jobless claims pushed higher and the ISM Manufacturing report was weaker than expected, particularly in the employment component - all of which is in increased focus ahead of Friday's US payrolls report.
  • Main/XO were +4.1bp/+16bp at 58.8bp/310bp while €IG/€HY closed +1bp/+9bp with 3-5yr spreads underperforming at +2bp while IG Fins and Cons Cycs were close to +2.5bp. Primary was kept open by the EUR 1bn 12NC7 from Caixa which tightened 30bps to give a NIC of 5bps.
  • SXXP was -1.2% with RE and Retail eeking out gains of +1% and +1.5% while SPX futures was -1.4%. Notable €IG movers included Air Products & Chemicals +9%, Rolls Royce +7%, Smith & Nephew +7%, Kellanova +7%, Worldline -15%, Syensqo -10%, Socgen -9%, Toyota -8%, SES -8%.
  • SX5E futures are -1.1% while SPX futures are -0.9%. Looking ahead we have the US NFP print as the main focus point. BOE speak is also due.
