Trump comments are dominating trading...>

EGB SUMMARY
EGB SUMMARY: Trump comments are dominating trading again as he upped the
language on North Korea, saying that he previously "maybe wasn't tough enough".
the Bund contract opened 23 ticks higher, dipped slightly but is again pushing a
fresh six week contract high. 
- European curves are mostly bull flattening, with the exception of Italian debt
markets where the 10-30Y spread is making a very slight steepening.
- Currently, the 10Y Bund yield is 1.7bp lower at 0.398% and only the Irish 10Y
bond is doing better than in within the EGB complex.
- Japanese markets wee closed overnight and the futures volumes are not
particularly elevated. By this time yesterday, a large number of euribor trades
had already gone through but there is none of that today and it appears that
perhaps, investors have largely adjusted positions in response to North Korean
events.
- Today, it should be fairly quiet until US inflation data this afternoon. Final
French and Spanish CPI numbers have been released and produced no surprises.
