In the bonds market, yields of the German 10-year Bund correct lower after hittig fresh highs in the -0.30% earlier in the session, while yields of the US 10-year note recede to 1.32% and to sub-0.21% levels when comes to the 2-year note.

So far, spot is gaining 0.26% at 1.1841 and faces the next up barrier at 1.1909 (monthly high Sep.3) followed by 1.1935 (100-day SMA) and finally 1.2000 (psychological level). On the other hand, a break below 1.1770 (weekly low Sep.13) would target 1.1704 (monthly low Mar.31) en route to 1.1663 (2021 low Aug.20).
