Beware the steepeners in March – scrapping the PSPP deposit rate floor?Nordea
The next ECB meeting is approaching fast and once again we are in a position where markets have built up huge expectations as to what to expect from Draghi. Markets are expecting a cut of at least 10bp, leaving Draghi walking a thin line if markets are not to be disappointed (again). Nordea’s baseline is that curves will steepen, but what if the ECB decides to change the PSPP modalities scrapping the deposit rate floor? We take a closer look.

Eye-OpenerNordea
China PMIs disappoint; risk-on in Asia; oil prices continue to climb * Signs of stabilisation in US manufacturing? * EUR rates – reached the bottom and digging * Cautious with SEK, Riksbank still watching

Morning MarketsTF
A new month and the official start of a new season in the northern hemisphere but markets lack a spring in their step: forex majors are generally trading in tight ranges and the leading equity indices are mostly less than a percentage point from their previous closes.

Daily FX Comment Marc Chandler
Markets Find Steadier Footing

Daily ShotTF
In China PMI is tending lower; and in Europe it's CPI - Central Banks need to do something about it. Meanwhile in the US high yield corporate bonds all of a sudden sharply outperform the S&P500. Capital is returning to leverage finance markets - for now.
