Overnight headlines suggesting Brexit negotiations were on the verge of collapse (again) is sparking a bid for Treasuries this morning. Also contributing to this morning’s negative sentiment are reports the U.S. is poised to levy new sanctions on Chinese officials over Hong Kong. Somewhat offsetting these macro concerns is growing optimism expressed by a bipartisan group of Senators that a new Covid aid package could be agreed to later this week. This week’s economic calendar is relatively light from a data perspective, but market participants will continue to pay close attention to the weekly jobless claims data, even if it does now come with an accuracy disclaimer. The November CPI report will also be released on Thursday.
