It took 102 trading days for Bund yields to rally from 68bp to their all-time low of 7bp. It took just 15 days after that to jump back to 68bp again.

Bonds: Massacre to be followed by resurrectionNordea
Core bond markets appear to be in meltdown mode. Yields are surging higher, while the ECB is staying put. The rapidity of the yield move without an ECB response has already undermined the credibility of the central bank’s bond purchases, and is weakening the potential of the programme to reach its goals. Nevertheless, yields will resume falling in the not-too-distant future, with ECB action or without it, but the damage to confidence has been done.

Majors & Scandies: Central bank and rates forecastsNordea
While the recent jump in yields is a reminder that Euro-area debt is not a one-way bet, we expect a renewed fall in EUR yields over the summer, followed by a very gradual increase throughout the remainder of the forecast horizon. In the US, a central bank starting to normalise policy and an economy showing increasing signs of price pressures favour gradually higher USD yields.

Majors & Scandies: FX forecastNordea
Renewed strength in the US labour market should mitigate market concerns after the weak growth in Q1. We therefore expect EUR/USD to resume its move towards parity. The UK election results reduced uncertainty and the BoE is still expected to hike rates in Q4, helping the GBP. The BoJ’s new QE in October will weaken the JPY. Improving global growth prospects will support commodity currencies and drive the CHF downwards.

EM FX: Financial forecastsNordea
The current relief seen in many EM currencies will most likely not last long and we remain bearish EM FX in our new financial forecasts. We have made significant changes to our forecast for the RUB and for the TRY as well as for the Russian and Turkish central banks. We now believe the RUB could come under some pressure in the near term, while the TRY already has weakened.

Daily MacroWSJ
There’s two ways of looking at the bond selloff: one is that the excesses of the recent past, when eurozone bond yields got to record lows, are being unwound and that the market is stuck in a painful reckoning with those positions; the other is that bonds are adjusting to a rosier outlook and the idea that inflation could creep back into the eurozone and other economies, which at this stage would be welcome.

The UK has been one of the developed world’s stronger economies in terms of overall growth. But business data suggests that growth is at risk of decelerating in the second quarter, and today's manufacturing data is again unlikely to provide much of a boost to broader economic growth.

FX UpdateTF
USDJPY has been too quiet for too long – is this the quiet before the storm if yields continue to rise? Elsewhere, the GBP may highly vulnerable to a setback if upcoming event risks aren’t loudly supportive of more hawkish expectations from the BoE.

From the FloorTF
As Sterling continues to ride high against the greenback on the back of a weave of election euphoria, all is quiet on the Greek front as default worries begin to fade. But both of these situations seem out of kilter with reality: GBP is overbaked and Greece still represents a major threat to the euro.
