The back-up in bond yields over February clearly damaged upwards momentum towards the end of the month. The key question now is: What’s next? How much have markets unwound their recent excesses? & Are they positioned for their next leg higher? Or indeed are they rolling over?
Key events today: There’s plenty of newsflow for the markets to focus on today. Markit’s PMI service sector data will be published for a range of European countries this morning and then for various North and South American countries later today.
The key US ISM non-manufacturing (i.e. services) sector survey is published at 3pm (London time). US ADP employment data is also out later (1:15pm) while the UK’s Chancellor will deliver his spring budget at 12:30 London time and the Fed publishes its Beige Book at 7pm this evening.
