MNI EUROPEAN MARKETS ANALYSIS: Steady USD & Yields

  • Broader market moves have been limited in the first part of Friday trade. Relief that we are unlikely to see reciprocal tariffs in the near term (with an early April date touted), hasn't weighed much further on the USD, although dollar indices are down comfortably for the week.
  • US Tsy futures have been relatively steady, while JGB futures are stronger, +4 compared to settlement levels, but well off the session’s best levels. NZ data was stronger, but isn't seen shifting the near term RBNZ easing outlook.
  • Hong Kong equities continue to outperform, led by the tech side, but spill over elsewhere hasn't been evident.
  • Looking ahead, we have EU GDP, while in the USD retail sales is likely to be the main focus point. We also hear from the Fed's Logan.
