3 Numbers to Watch: UK & German industrial
output, US 10 yr yield – TradingFloor
Industrial production
updates for the UK and Germany are among today’s crucial numbers. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the US 10-year Treasury yield as the budget war in Washington rolls on and large Treasury holders - Japan and China - watch anxiously.
Market Preview: Eyes on FOMC minutes as budget
deadlock continues – TradingFloor
European markets are
likely to open lower Wednesday amid rising concerns over the US budget impasse. Meanwhile, the US president will nominate Janet Yellen as the
new Fed head today. Traders eye today’s FOMC minutes and German industrial
output data.

In the US an
agreement on increasing the debt ceiling does not appear to be imminent. Obama is
expected to announce the nomination of Janet Yellen as chairman of the Federal
Reserve. The minutes from the last Fed meeting released this evening are expected
to show that the surprise Fed decision to delay tapering of its bond purchases was a very close call. In Europe
focus today will be on industrial production data for August in Germany and the
UK. The weaker-than-expected German factory orders released yesterday suggest
that there also could be some downside risk to German industrial production today.
US curve
continues to flatten, as short yields rise * Equities taking another beating * Spanish
and Italian bond yields rise, as more issuance in the pipeline * Increased market pressure adding
to chances of an agreement on the debt ceiling * Dovish line to continue at the
Fed – Yellen picked to succeed Bernanke * Small business confidence suffering
only mildly in the US * ESM finding strong demand for its first bond issue * German
industrial orders remain bumpy * Fed minutes to reveal the central bank’s
worries over tighter fiscal policy * More issuance from the US and Germany

Osakemarkkinoilla
ollaan yhä huolestuneempia USA:n velkakattokiistasta, joka vaikuttaa olevan nyt
umpikujassa. Yellenistä uusi USA:n keskuspankin pääjohtaja. Yellen tunnetaan elvytysmyönteisyydestä.
IMF laski kehittyvien markkinoiden kasvuennusteita. Osakefutuurit miinuksella,
indikoiden laskuavausta OMX HEX:iin. Stora Enson Q3 odotuksia vahvempi, mutta
loppuvuosi puolestaan jää heikommaksi.

The un-terrifying Treasury bill market – Felix

The Treasury-bill
market, then, is a bit like the market in US CDS: it’s a thin market which is
being asked to support much more rhetorical weight than it can reasonably bear.
In the real world, Treasury bills remain an absolutely safe market

OK, the Tea Party
didn't make an ideological stand over the fiscal cliff, but it is doing so now
over the debt ceiling as leverage with Obamacare as their casus belli. How does
the Establishment wing react? Go along with the Tea Party and commit electoral suicide
or do what the PDL did to Silvio Berlusconi? My bet is that when push comes to
shove, they take the latter path.
