The Day Ahead
Yesterday’s Takeaway
The market moved most on the US jobs beat β January added 130,000 hires and a lower unemployment rate β which reinforced the case for a Fed rate pause and pushed Treasuries down as stocks wavered. That dynamic leaves todayβs session geared toward whether the still-higher-for-longer rates narrative holds and how risk assets digest follow-through in yields and earnings choppiness.
The Setup
Risk is subdued but bifurcated: VIX sits at 17.65, signaling low near-term volatility, while the US 10-year yield is steady at 4.18 and Germanyβs 10-year slipped to 2.8 (-0.36%), tightening core/periphery dynamics. EURUSD is flat at 1.19 and EURIBOR 3M is depressed at 1.98, leaving carry differentials intact. Watch the divergence between calm option-implied volatility and still-elevated nominal yields, plus single-stock swings after heavy movers yesterday (Teradata +29.6%, Unity -26.3%).
Today’s Watch
Asian data dominate early: Chinaβs January credit suite and loan figures at 09:00 (new loans, outstanding loan growth, M2, total social financing) and the Q4 current account at 09:50 β forecasts imply a big credit impulse versus prior prints and a weaker M2. Romania GDP posts at 07:00; Colombia imports at 15:00. ECB President Lagarde speaks at 16:30 β markets expect a steady stance but any hint on balance-sheet or forward guidance would move bunds and the euro. Focus: whether Chinaβs credit reads revive risk sentiment and whether Lagardeβs tone moves rate forwards and core yields.
