Jan von Gerich: Bonds: Ground sub-zeroNordea
Another boundary once considered insurmountable was breached, when the German 10-year yield hit negative territory. More than 85% of German government debt now trades at negative yields. While a sub-zero 10-year yield says a lot about the current market environment, the zero limit does not have the significance it once had any more. Despite the looming Brexit vote, the near-term risk picture is shifting towards a correction higher in yields, with ECB purchases strengthening the moves both ways.

Martin Enlund: Global: Brexit, not macro, in the driver's seat Nordea
Price-action over the past week or two probably mostly driven by technical purchases as market participants found themselves wrongfooted by the surge in Brexit likelihood. The lion’s share of these positioning adjustments should be done by now. Even if exit probability rises further, a jump from 40% to say 60% should matter much less than the recent surge from 20% to 40%. How much clarity the referendum will offer for markets is another matter worth pondering.

Equity markets are showing signs of a cautious recovery after shares in Tokyo escaped a four-day losing streak and ended modestly higher helped by a weaker yen. But the underlying tone remains tinged with Brexit fears and the yield on the bellwether 10-year bund future has only just managed to claw its way above zero having pitched into the negative zone yesterday.

FX UpdateTF
As the market continues to obsess over the UK referendum the BoE and ECB have promised to keep markets orderly on the other side of a possible Brexit vote. Tonight’s FOMC meeting could prove a minor distraction.

From the FloorTF
A Brexit poll prediction for a narrow Remain victory has helped pull 10-year German bund yields out of negative territory and stabilised sterling.
