Moving a little higher on low volumes

BONDS
  • Treasuries, Bunds and gilts have drifted a little higher this morning but on little volume, and little in the way of new news (some comments from BOE's Pill and a couple of ECB GC members in line with previous guidance).
  • The German curve has bull steepened while gilts have bull flattened.
  • The focus this morning has instead been on syndications with the EU looking to launch a new 25-year Feb-48 green bond and the UK reopening the 1.125% Oct-73 gilt.
  • Later today we will hear from Fed's Barkin and Mester as well as receive US existing home sales data.
  • TY1 futures are down -0-7+ today at 115-30+ with 10y UST yields up 4.3bp at 3.271% and 2y yields up 2.5bp at 3.208%.
  • Bund futures are up 0.41 today at 143.87 with 10y Bund yields down -1.5bp at 1.730% and Schatz yields down -4.4bp at 1.095%.
  • Gilt futures are up 0.14 today at 111.41 with 10y yields down -2.6bp at 2.576% and 2y yields down -1.9bp at 2.267%.
