STIR: It has been a pretty uneventful morning in STIR markets.
- The highlight on the data calendar has been the release of UK labour market
data which saw wages surprise positively, the unemployment rate unexpectedly
fall and employment rise at 222k on a 3m/3m basis. The employment data was so
strong that the release was in the 97th percentile. However, in spite of this
data there was almost no reaction in STIR markets. Indeed the short sterling
strip is generally only 0.5 ticks lower on the day. Brexit is the only game in
town for UK markets.
- The Euribor curve has flattened today with Whites down 0.5 ticks, Reds and
Greens largely unch on the day and Blues 0.5-1 tick higher on the day. The
German ZEW survey was mixed with the expectations component much better than
expected but the current situation was worse.
- The Eurodollar futures strip has seen Whites unch to 1 tick higher on the day
with the rest of the strip 1 tick higher. Factory orders and the final release
of durable goods are the data highlights for the day ahead.
