Short-end Rates Continue Post-CPI Squeeze

EGBS
  • Market focus remains on rate expectations, with much of the action seen across the Euribor strip, with yesterday's multi-decade high US CPI still the catalyst behind gyrations in the fixed income market. The strip has traded lower by as much as 7 ticks this morning,
  • Bund futures are recovering off the morning's lows of 170.21, prompting a minor drift in the 10yr yield, retreating to -0.255%. The curve has steepened slightly, with 2y yields off as much as 2bps.
  • Gilt futures are extending the bounce off the 50-dma at 125.90, but remain well off the Wednesday highs of 127.10.
  • Treasury cash markets are closed for the duration of the Thursday session, which may see volumes and liquidity dry up beyond the NY crossover. As a result, there's little data due, but CB speak keeps up, with BOE's Mann, ECB's Lane, Schnabel and de Cos on the docket.
