Core Yields Inch Lower

  • The first half of the European session has been underscored by slim gains in core debt. Today's modest gains come after nearly a week of sideways action. The euro has shed 0.3% to 1.1810 against the U.S. dollar after hitting a 19-month high yesterday. British Chancellor Philip Hammond pushed back against suggestions that Brexit may be delayed or postponed. European economic data showed mostly disappointing revisions to Manufacturing PMI readings, but the figures remained in expansion despite pulling back.

    Little Changed Once Again

    • U.S. Treasuries have spent the night inside a narrow range, which leaves the market on track for a flat start. However, some movement is expected to follow the 8:30 ET release of June Personal Income (Briefing.com consensus 0.3%), Personal Spending (Briefing.com consensus 0.1%), and core PCE Prices (Briefing.com consensus 0.1%). Treasuries held their ground overnight, showing little reaction to Asian economic data, which showed below-consensus Manufacturing PMI readings from Japan and India while China's Caixin Manufacturing PMI beat expectations after the official reading missed estimates on Monday. The Reserve Bank of Australia held its cash rate at 1.50%, as expected. The central bank's statement noted that strength of the Australian dollar is mostly due to the underperformance of the greenback. The S&P 500 futures trade five points above fair value while crude oil is down 0.6% at $49.89/bbl. The Dollar Index is up 0.1% after ending yesterday's session at its lowest level since May 2016.
