FW: Fixed Income Daily Pulse - 21 December 2017

 

 

 

Good Evening,

 

Today’s trade recap by our trading desk:-

 

·         Overnight headlines focused on Trump administration’s first major legislative victory in US Tax Reform which further boost risk-on sentiments in major DMs. Global bond yields mostly ticked higher with UST 10Y rising to a 9-months high of 2.50% before stabilizing at 2.47% levels at midday. Despite substantial movements in global bonds, the local bond market remained muted throughout the day. While there were some buying interest for benchmark stocks, prices were quoted wide with lackluster trading activities.
