This week’s movement ignoring narrower, JPY-supportive spreads
"The preliminary PMI’s were mixed, with a modest improvement in the (still contractionary) manufacturing reading and a slight moderation in the (barely expansionary) services print. CPI data will be the highlight of the week and the release is scheduled for 7:30pm ET."
"Narrowing USJapan spreads remain supportive for the yen, reflecting renewed confidence in BoJ tightening and a continued rise in Japanese yields with the 20Y following the 10Y’s lead in breaking to fresh multi-decade highs."
