[MARKET ANALYSIS] Fixed rebounds slightly from Tuesday's sell-off, but with energy capping any significant move

A contained start for fixed income, rebounding slightly from Tuesday’s bearish action on US CPI and Fed speak, but with upside this morning capped as energy has an upward bias and as conditions are relatively light on account of it being Veterans Day. Nonetheless, USTs are lower by a handful of ticks, in 106-00 to 106-06 confines, and as such a full point off the pre-Waller opening levels on Tuesday. Fed speak since has largely been on the hawkish side of things, with the unsurprising exception of Bowman, but not to the same 50bps extent as Waller suggested. PPI on Friday before PCE later in the month are the main scheduled points to watch for indications on the December decision. But, a hike is seemingly cemented and while there is at most about a 10% implied probability for a 50bps move, that scenario is very much an outlier. Bunds firmer by about 10 ticks, to a 122.77 peak, some 50 ticks shy of Tuesday’s best. Action much the same as that outlined for USTs, with the space currently taking a bit of a relief from the sell-off, but elevated energy prices and particularly so for Dutch TTF cap any significant rebound. The European docket is light. No move earlier to final German CPI which was unrevised. Gilts opened on the front foot, again, unwinding some of the pressure on Tuesday. Currently, bid by about 20 ticks and at an 86.47 high, but almost a full point off the 87.26 peak from Tuesday. Specifics are light, domestic focus on the PM’s 10yr plan and the suggestion it may underwhelm expectations from within the Labour party itself.
