The Day Ahead
Yesterday’s Takeaway
The market moved on a dip in US Treasury yields and a softer dollar after reports that China flagged risks around US bond holdings, a development that pushed VIX down to 17.36 (-14.78%) and sent EUR/USD to 1.19 (+0.85%). That dynamic signaled a risk-friendly tone into today: equities can extend gains if China’s signals are interpreted as prompting easier global funding, while lower US yields relieve pressure on high-growth assets and EM balance sheets.
The Setup
Risk looks subdued: US 10-year yields fell to 4.19 (-0.48%) while Germany’s 10-year sits at 2.84 (flat), preserving a wide spread that keeps dollar-sensitive flows in focus. Short-term euro-area rates remain muted—EURIBOR 3M at 2.0 (-0.99%)—even as FX has weakened versus the euro. The divergence between falling sovereign yields and a still-low VIX suggests sentiment is fragile: a continued easing in yields supports risk assets, but briefing-driven moves out of Treasuries or hawkish European signals would reprice that trade quickly.
Today’s Watch
China’s liquidity and flow prints dominate the morning: M2 (09:00, forecast 8.2% vs 8.5%), Total Social Financing (09:00, forecast 7,500 vs 2,210), New Yuan Loans (09:00, forecast 4,800 vs 910) and the current account (09:50, forecast 210 vs 198.7). Markets expect larger credit injections; readings that undershoot those forecasts would revive dollar demand and lift US yields. In the afternoon, ECB President Lagarde speaks at 16:30 — a hawkish tilt would steepen European curves and tighten conditions. Focus the session on China’s credit prints and Lagarde’s tone: they will determine whether yesterday’s yield and FX moves persist or reverse.
