There hasn’t been much going on in financial markets to start the new week but calmer tones are prevailing and that should provide some comfort for risk trades – at least for the time being after the US durable goods orders report was released a while ago. Here’s a look at how equities and bonds are faring for now:
- Eurostoxx +1.1%
- Germany DAX +1.2%
- France CAC 40 +0.5%
- UK FTSE +0.8%
- S&P 500 futures +0.5%
- Nasdaq futures +0.6%
- Dow futures +0.4%
- 10-year German bund yields +7 bps to 1.51%
- 10-year Italian bond yields +7 bps to 3.62%
- 2-year Treasury yields +1.5 bps to 3.07%
- 10-year Treasury yields +4 bps to 3.16%
