Martin Enlund: Global: are FI markets too complacent?Nordea
In light of comments by NY Fed Dudley that the bond market "looks stretched", it could be worth pondering whether he might actually be right. While central banks are buying long bonds like never before, this has not prevented yields from correcting higher in for instance 2013 and 2015.

Aurelija Augulyte: JPY: relentless, but stoppableNordea
The JPY strength reflects global uncertainties, also seen in lower global yields lately. Once the Fed repricing takes place and rate normalization cycle resumes, the JPY will reweaken broadly.

Yield Forecast UpdateDanske Bank
Still some potential for higher yields next year

FX UpdateTF
Comments from the New York Fed’s William Dudley yesterday supported the US dollar after it had punched through key supports. This was an interesting technical reversal but one that will require supportive comments from today’s FOMC minutes if the USD is to sustain a rally.

From the FloorTF
Talk is normally cheap but yesterday's double blast of verbal intervention from the US and Japan made for big moves in USDJPY and big money for the well-positioned.
