TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

The yield on the German 10-year Bund eased to below 2.15%, tracking the downward movement in UK Gilt yields, after the BoE stepped in to say it would buy long-dated UK government bonds to tamp down rising yields. Still, Germany’s 10-year government bond yield remained close to levels not seen since December of 2011, as major central banks engaged in an unprecedented monetary tightening momentum to curb soaring inflation. ECB officials said the central bank may need to raise interest rates by another 75 bps at its October meeting and move again in December to a level that no longer stimulates the economy. Soaring energy prices continued to hamper economic activity in the bloc, with September PMI data showing that the Eurozone and German private sectors contracted further for the third straight month. Elsewhere, the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates by 75 bps for the third time in its September meeting and signaled it will maintain borrowing costs high for a prolonged period.
