MNI EUROPEAN MARKETS ANALYSIS: Busy US Data Session Ahead

  • The USD has been supported on dips so far today, with only yen up in the G10 space (on further BoJ tightening speculation). The A$ is lower despite an earlier jobs beat. Tsy Secretary nominee Bessent is expected to highlight the USD's global status as important for the US economy.
  • US Tsys have been relatively steady, holding Wednesday gains. JGB futures remain stronger and at session highs, +35 compared to settlement levels.
  • China interbank liquidity remains tight despite recent PBoC support. The BoK left rates on hold, despite widespread expectations of a cut. FX volatility was cited as a factor.
  • Later we get UK data, including monthly GDP, while in the US initial jobless claims, retail sales and Philly Fed survey print.
