Risk on has been the overriding........>

BOND SUMMARY: Risk on has been the overriding theme in markets today with

yesterday's equity market rally continuing into today after the holidays seen in

both the US and UK yesterday. Core bonds are lower on the day with curves bear

steepening.

- There are not many scheduled risk events today with the ECB's Lane due to

speak and Fed's Kashkari among the highlights (but we have heard from the key

players in the Fed last week and Lane recently). BOE Chief Economist Haldane is

speaking as we type but he has spoken recently and his comments so far are in

line with his previous rhetoric.
