Leaning Bull Flatter Amid US Debt Ceiling Uncertainty

BONDS
BulletMarketsFixed Income NewsHomepage

Global core FI is on the front foot in early Wednesday trade, with attention on the US debt limit impasse.

  • The US, UK, and German curves are leaning slightly bull flatter, with risk appetite limited.
  • That's despite some apparently constructive debt limit developments overnight, including Pres Biden's plan to shorten his trip to Asia in order to refocus on negotiations.
  • The US short end is underperforming, with Fed hike pricing ticking up slightly (vs lower pricing for ECB/BoE) amid lingering doubts that the hiking cycle is over.
  • Eurozone data hasn't really had an impact; final Apr HICP saw a downward revision to M/M, while French unemployment was in line. US housing starts and building permits data feature later.
  • This morning's supply has included a strong Gilt auction and a decent French OAT sale. Supply later includes $15B 20Y US Tsy Bonds.
  • BoE Governor Bailey, and ECB's Centeno/Guindos/Rehn are up later.
