10 year yields are lower
The major European indices are ending the day with modest gains. The provisional closes are showing:
- German DAX, +0.1%
- France’s CAC, +0.2%
- UK’s FTSE, +0.9%
- Spain’s Ibex, +0.3%
- Italy’s FTSE MIB, +0.65%
In the 10 year benchmark note sector, yields are lower with Italy and UK yields down sharply. The UK PMI construction data was much weaker than expectations and BOE Carney also came out with dovish comments in the NY morning session.
