European FI Strategy: Easing vs tighteningNordea
While the Fed is still pondering when to raise rates, the ECB has opened the door to even more easing. Financial markets are not betting on either of these happening in the immediate future. Spreads remain on a modest widening trend, and it would take stronger hopes of more QE to change that. We have taken a closer look at the recent QE modifications and find that the immediate changes flow-wise speak in favor of curve flattening.

Bond market overview: Rate hikes or expanded QE? Nordea
The ECB has opened the door for more easing, while the Fed has postponed its first tightening move. Even though central bank rhetoric has opened more downside for bond yields, the recent ranges have held so far. While risks remain on the downside, the Fed remains on course for a hike still this year, while the ECB is likely to refrain from an immediate expansion of its QE programme.

Bond spreads: More QE needed to narrow spreadsNordea
Despite the fact that the ECB has opened the door for further easing measures, intra-Euro-area bond spreads have not seen a clear narrowing. It would take clearer easing signals from the ECB to push spreads much narrower, and political risks are likely to keep spreads on a widening path for now. Spanish bonds are set to face more pressure vs Italy, while Finnish bond spreads are likely to underperform vs the Netherlands and Austria.

Rates in the US will be hiked some day, but Fed officials still do not seem to agree on the timing. Also, one should think twice before jumping on Volkswagen's shares. Even after having fallen below 100 euro there is downside risk potential.

Weak risk sentiment continues to dominate the proceedings here, with the usual suspects, the euro and yen, at the top of the heap, while the commodity dollars and EM are getting the worst of it in this environment. It’s tough to see what will turn the tide at the moment.
