September 8, 2020 Headlines
A sell off in equity futures is contributing to a bull-flattening for the Treasury curve this morning. Concerns that tech company valuations have reached extremes is driving the negative risk sentiment, with Nasdaq futures down 3.25% ahead of the open. This week’s economic calendar is headlined by August inflation data, with PPI on Thursday and CPI on Friday. We’ve entered the blackout period ahead of the September 16 FOMC meeting, so there will be no Fed speakers this week.
