USTs: -0.5 ticks

  • Price action is choppy following US-South Korea tariff frictions, weak US Consumer Confidence and an average 5-year auction stateside, while the attention turns to the looming FOMC, where the Fed is widely expected to stand pat.

Bunds: Flat

  • Struggles for direction following the recent choppy performance with German GfK data and Bund supply due later.

JGBs: +26 ticks

  • Climbed amid a softer yield environment in Japan with risk appetite sapped by a firmer currency, while the stale Minutes from the BoJ's December meeting provided very little to shift the dial, with members reiterating that it is appropriate to keep raising rates if the outlook is met.

Recent mixed signals from U.S. economic data, including lower consumer confidence and subdued auction results, contribute to this indecisiveness, likely impacting the fixed income landscape and broader risk sentiment.
