Markets Overnight
The ominous Friday the 13th has so far started with falling yields and equities. The 30yr bond auction in the US yesterday was quite soft. The bid-to-cover was below average, but then again, USD16bn 30yr is a lot of risk to be swallowed by the market. Even though the bonds were sold a few bp cheaper at the auction than expected yields came down afterwards. The 2yr yields remained close to unchanged, but the curve has flattened as 10yr and 30yr yields dropped.
The US equity markets had a bad day with S&P500 down 1% and Nasdaq losing 0.8%. In Asia most stock markets are in negative territory as we write.
On the subject of Asia, the APEC meeting appears to move tentatively towards putting more pressure on the Chinese to adjust their currency peg to USD. This comes quite shortly after similar calls for rebalancing from the IMF at the last G20 meeting. This is not something that has been very visible in the FX market, though. EUR/USD has remained close to unchanged since last night after having come down by 1.5 figures during the day. Like EUR/USD most major crosses have remained stable since last night.
