FW: Fixed Income Daily Pulse - 27 October 2017

 

 

Good Evening,
Today’s trade recap by our trading desk:-
·         There was a dovish taper from the ECB meeting yesterday, which saw the EUR easing to 1.1630 levels and USD strengthening across the board. UST yields also rebounded and shot up to 2.46% levels. In the local bond space, market was pretty quiet as most players stay on the sidelines ahead of Najib’s Budget announcement which is ongoing now at time of writing. Major headlines included Malaysia’s GDP to grow 5.2%-5.7% this year and 5.0%-5.5% in 2018 while CPI will average 2.5%-3.5% in 2018, easing from 3%-4% this year.
