German fixed income futures have ticked.......>

BUNDS: German fixed income futures have ticked higher in early trade this week,

albeit modestly, after technical issues delayed the Eurex open.

- Worries re: Sino-U.S. trade talks stalling over IP matters (per a BBG report)

dented risk appetite in early Asia-Pac trade, although an inline Chinese GDP

print provided risk assets a degree of respite halfway through the session.

- Domestic data will be headlined by the the PMI, ZEW & IFO surveys this week,

with more focus likely to be placed on the rhetoric employed at this week's ECB

MonPol decision, the broader EZ PMI data & Brexit developments.

- On the issuance front, Germany will come to market with 5-Year paper on

Wednesday.
