[MARKET ANALYSIS] Fixed contained in limited conditions, US data ahead

Fixed benchmarks are flat amid mass market closures with liquidity thin and the docket sparse. USTs in a narrow 110-17+ to 110-22+ range, awaiting Final Manufacturing PMI and then the ISM Manufacturing figure thereafter. Today's docket also has Fed's Miran; reminder, as Powell has indicated he will remain at the Fed once he is no longer Chair, Miran will likely vacate his spot for Warsh. Gilts gapped lower by 15 ticks and then slipped to an 86.36 low, though comfortably above Thursday's 85.90 contract base. No move to the Final Manufacturing PMI, which unsurprisingly points to marked price pressures and frontloading of purchase activity. Ahead, BoE Chief Economist Pill is due; Pill was the sole hawkish dissenter in April, and sees the risk of second round effects as being to the upside vs the three scenarios, calling for a "prompt but modest hike" to "help mitigate upside risks to price stability".
