[MARKET ANALYSIS] A softer start for fixed benchmarks, though they are off lows across the board

Newsquawk Staff · 2 Jan 2026, 09:59 UTC

A softer start for fixed benchmarks.
Bunds and USTs lower by 20 and two ticks, respectively. Specifics are fairly light aside from Final PMIs which, thus far, have not had any real impact.
USTs in the red but at the upper-end of a 112-05 to 112-13 band. If a move into the green occurs, resistance factors at 112-25.
A similar picture for Bunds, in the red but just off highs in 127.08-49 parameters. Resistance at 127.57 and 127.83.
For Gilts, a softer open but the benchmark has since climbed off lows and is, as above, towards highs in 90.74-91.33 parameters. 91.37 would take Gilts back to unchanged on the day, thereafter resistance at 91.47.
