  • The quiet session should keep earnings in focus in the interim, with Morgan Stanley, Abbott Laboratories and Prologis reporting before the open, before Harris’ interview on Fox after the close.
  • Cash yields are 2-2.5bp lower across the curve, with 2s10s at 8.7bps consolidating yesterday’s sizeable flattening but still within ranges over the past month.
