August 14, 2021 Headlines
Treasuries are little changed to start the week following a quiet overnight session (and Friday’s rally). U.S. equity futures are down 35-40 basis points ahead of the open with weaker Chinese economic data and general Covid concerns weighing on sentiment. For financial markets, the next major economic calendar event is Fed Chair Powell’s Jackson Hole speech at the end of next week, but prior to that, we will see the July retail sales report (tomorrow) and the minutes of the July 28 FOMC meeting (Wednesday). On the supply front, Treasury will be issuing new 20-year bonds on Wednesday.
