Yesterday's NYSE volume was the lightest (Non-Holiday) volume since October 2006, let's hope that reverses - US Futures have been steadily climbing throughout the AM, and rest about 15bp higher ahead of the Poroshenko-Putin meeting (no specific time). The UK is playing catch up from Holiday, gaining 30bp, while the DAX is slightly red in very light volume (35% below 20day averages) as Chatter increases that Russian military vehicles again have entered Ukraine. Over in Asia, the Nikkei lost 60bp as the Yen strengthened overnight - China was hit for 1% as $5B in new shares start trading this week - Aussie closed unch, despite weakness in the miners as Ore in Asia dropped 1%, hitting lowest level in 2months.
Global Sovs are in demand again, with the US 10YY off small, but sharp demand for credit in Europe - Bund Yields remain near record lows, and we have 2YY negative in 5 EZ countries: Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, and Finland. The DXY is retreating from near 1Y highs - losing ground against Yen and Euro - Causing a tailwind for commodities. Industrial Metals are being sold for Precious, with Gold popping 70bp and over the 200dma. We are seeing a "dead cat" bounce in the Oil complex, with both Brent and WTI up slightly into API inventories tonight.
