Key Quotes
"One effect of importing even more disinflation from EM is that it keeps bond yields down in developed markets. With investors happy to ignore US economic data, and with the ECB doing noting o policy but hinting furiously about what they could do, Bunds and Treasuries are in ranges, peripheral and corporate spreads grinding tighter."
"This remains a backdrop that is marginally unfriendly for both US dollar and Japanese yen. The yen is refusing to ‘play ball' perhaps because shorts are still substantial, but CAD/JPY is a good buy (as mentioned yesterday)."
"EUR/USD is in its range, and unless it breaks 1.3640-1.3840 probably best viewed as such. There is no change to long-term views, and little news to move it today, with German data as expected, US house prices and consumer confidence likely to be ignored."
