MNI EUROPEAN MARKETS ANALYSIS: US Yields Edge Up, BoE Later

  • Yen was once again an outperformer in the FX space, amid hawkish BoJ rhetoric. USD/JPY is up from lows as broader USD sentiment stabilized. JGB futures are stronger, aided by a solid 30yr auction.
  • US Cash tsys yields are trading roughly 1bps higher with the 10yr at 4.428%, after hitting a low of 4.400% overnight. Asian equities are higher today, tracking overnight gains on Wall Street.
  • Later the Fed’s Jefferson, Waller and Logan speak and US January Challenger job cuts, jobless claims and Q4 productivity/ULC print. Oil markets will be focussing on Fridays’ January payroll data with consensus expecting a 170k rise in jobs (see MNI US payrolls preview). The BoE is expected to cut rates 25bp. Also German December orders, euro area December retail sales and Canada’s January PMI are released.
