Thursday`, following Wednesday`s non-event FOMC decision and a recovery in JGBs
after BOJ made unscheduled purchases.

Germany, 5-Yr yields down 0.7bps at -0.106%, compared with Schatz yields down
0.2bps and 10-Yr Bunds down 0.5bps.
- JGBs stronger in 5-10 Yr space after unscheduled BOJ buys in that segment,
5-Yr and 7-Yr yields down 0.1bps each, versus 15-40-Yrs which are moving wider.

1.3bps at 2.993% and flattening 2s10s by 0.7bps at 31.8bps.

all attention on BOE and Carney midday. Sep8 future off 1 tick at 122.11.
