BONDS

- A move away from session lows in crude oil futures and extension higher in European equities also factored in.
- Wider core global FI markets pulled back from best levels alongside Bunds.
- Bunds and gilts bull steepened in the wake of the German state level CPI.
- EGB spreads to Bunds are within 1bp of yesterday’s closing levels.
- National German CPI data is due shortly.
- Weekly U.S. jobless claims data is due in ~35 minutes, with the potential for larger than usual moves given the Fed’s increased focus on the employment side of its dual mandate.
