Looking ahead to ISM services

BONDS
  • Treasuries are lower this morning, having fallen in early Asian trading as local market participants reacted to Friday's US labour market data. Bunds started the morning moving lower (surpassing Friday's low) but have since changed direction and are now a little higher on the day. Gilts have seen the biggest moves of the day, with 10-year yields around 6bp lower as gilt futures have moved back to a little above Thursday's closing level (ignoring the volatility seen on Friday around payrolls).
  • Looking ahead, the data highlight will be the US ISM services print at 10:00ET / 15:00GMT. We also have US factory orders and the final print of durable goods. This morning we have seen higher-than-expected Spanish and Italian service PMI prints while other final PMI prints have largely been in line with the flash estimates.
  • TY1 futures are down -0-7+ today at 114-13+ with 10y UST yields up 2.6bp at 3.515% and 2y yields up 4.8bp at 4.321%.
  • Bund futures are up 0.25 today at 142.14 with 10y Bund yields down -0.8bp at 1.843% and Schatz yields down -0.6bp at 2.045%.
