  • Bund has consolidated, helped by a small bid in JGB overnight, the latter led by NZD rates.
  • Nonetheless, Bund outperform as we retrace from the initial technical yield area at -0.210%, which equates circa 170.41, printed 170.56 low yesterday.

  • The session is packed with Data, with some second reading for the US. Most notable one, will be US PCE core deflator for October.
