  • 2y/10y bunds closed -5bp/-2bp – DM team flagged a modestly constructive start on limited data and newsflow before yields fluctuated as the release of US payroll revisions proved messy. Ultimately core FI gained going into the European close, as the delayed data showed downward revisions on the high end of expectations.
  • Main/XO ended -0.1bp/-1bp at 53.7bp/293bp while €IG corps and fins were flat and €HY was +1bp with Energy the only IG corp mover at +0.5bp. $IG was -0.4bp (Corps -0.5bp, Fins -0.3bp) with all sectors mildly tighter while $HY was flat.
  • €IG primary consisted of deals from Swedbank (3yr SP FRN), PACCAR Financial (EUR 300mn 3yr; NIC -8bp), National Australia Bank (EUR 1.25bn 5.5yr; NIC 5bp), BBVA (EUR 1bn 12NC7 T2; 10bp NIC), ABN AMRO 3 (EUR 1.25bn 3yr covered; 3bp NIC), UPM-Kymmene (EUR 600mn 10y SUN; NIC 8bp).
  • SXXP/SPX ended +0.3/+0.4%. €IG movers included Mobico +18%, Brambles +9%, Albemarle +5%, Essity Aktiebolag -4%, Goodman Group -4%.
  • SX5E/SPX futures are -0.1%. Preliminary PMIs for Japan and Australia improved for August, but market sentiment didn't shift. Oil prices are off today’s lows to be little changed as global demand worries continue to weigh on benchmarks. Gold was also weaker.
  • Later the Jackson Hole Symposium starts but markets will be waiting for Fed Chair Powell’s speech on Friday. The ECB July meeting account is published today and US/European August flash PMIs as well as US jobless claims and Chicago & Kansas indices are out.
