Subdued price action vulnerable to larger swings with low liquidity

BONDS
  • Price action has been a lot more subdued overnight than in the previous session with Treasury futures up 0-07 to 112-13 and Bund futures marginally higher than yesterday's close.
  • Today will see Spanish retail sales released at 8:00GMT / 9:00CET, Eurozone money supply data an hour later, with US weekly jobless claims data at 13:30GMT / 14:30CET as the only other notable data of the day.
  • We will also see the final UST auctions of the year with USD35bln of 7-year Notes on offer as well as 4/8-week T-Bills.
  • As with the last couple of trading days, volumes are expected to remain thin and small orders could result in relatively large moves.
  • The main talking point in markets remains the increasing cases of Covid-19 in China, with a number of countries now requiring mandatory Covid testing on international arrivals from China.
