• Data released earlier in the day provided evidence of slowing economic activity in Poland, with annual expansion in industrial output and retail sales cooling more than expected.
• Local-currency bonds have sold off and now trade 5.2-6.7bp cheaper across the curve, with 10-year yield returning above the 6% mark. Poland/Germany 10-year yield spread has widened a tad.
