  • The French CPI, was inline, but didn't beat the estimates, which helps underpinned Bonds.

  • Schatz future is off the session, Yield off the low.
  • Next support in 2yr is seen at 0.65%, reference 109.075, would equate to 109.185.
  • Peripherals are wider this morning, as Bund outperforms its peers.
  • Italy is in the lead so far today, by 5.7bps at 191.9bps.
