OUTLOOK
  • In the FI space, the trend outlook in Bund futures remains bearish and this week’s move lower reinforces current conditions. The contract has pierced key support at 131.23, the Feb 29 low. A clear break of this level would confirm a resumption of the downtrend that started late December last year.
