BOND SUMMARY
BOND SUMMARY: In a busy day for issuance (both sovereign and corporate)
Treasuries and Bunds stayed range-bound through the early European morning
session, particularly relative to yesterday's moves. These moves consolidated
the falls seen ahead of midday ET.
- The big story of the morning has been the move in gilts following Dr Carney's
speech. He said that there was a high bar to changing the current inflation
targeting regime and that there was ample policy space to deal with a normal
recession (which could include doubling the stock of QE). The MPC continue to
lean towards the next move being a cut and a fairly downbeat assessment of the
current outlook led to gilts rallying. Gilt futures moved from a low of 131.04
at the start of the session to a high of 131.63 but now tick lower.
- Later today will see a number of Fed speakers including Clarida, Kashkari,
Barkin, Williams  and Evans while ECB members Schnabel and Villeroy are both due
to speak. There is only tier 2 data with the focus on payrolls tomorrow.
- TY1 futures are unch today at 128-24 with Bund futures down -0.42 at 171.36
and Gilt futures down -0.13 at 131.43.
