Stateside, futures are under more pressure, ES -0.5% as yields pickup a touch, NQ -0.7% lags slightly as such
USD is bolstered by the general risk tone, Yuan pressure post-PMIs and the latest piece from WSJ's Timiraos; DXY to a 111.20+ peak
Core fixed benchmarks pressured with yields extending as we enter a week dominated by Central Bank activity
Commodities under pressure amid the USD pickup and weak Chinese PMIs alongside COVID woes
Looking ahead, highlights include US Chicago PMI & a speech from ECB’s Lane.
