July 10, 2019 Headlines

US Treasuries weakened initially during the overnight session on the back of strong economic data from the European Union. Both French and Italian industrial production numbers came in better than expected. However, the move began to reverse course as the EU downgraded its 2020 economic forecast which highlighted the growth of downside risks. The UST gains continued before the New York open as Federal Reserve Chairman Powell signaled an openness to cut the Federal Funds rate amid softening business investment and sluggish inflation. The remarks proceed two days of testimony to both the House of Representatives and Senate regarding economic and policy outlook. In addition, the release of the Federal Reserve minutes is expected later today.
