German Bund Yields Could Swing Lower If Next Week's Eurozone PMI Data Is Weak -- Market Talk

Eurozone purchasing manager survey data next Wednesday could push German Bund yields lower after they have been largely moved by U.S. data in the past few months, rates strategists at Barclays Research say in a note. "Bullish impulses from the U.S. in the past couple of months have been a key factor in pushing Bund yields lower as domestically there is little impulse to generate a sustained move in either direction," they say. Next week's PMI data could be crucial, and if the market sees another month of weakness following the June downside surprise, Bunds could start generating bullish impulses of their own, the strategists say. The 10-year Bund yield is trading 2 basis points higher at 2.407%, according to Tradeweb.
