Middle East Headlines Drive Bond Markets, but Underlying Dynamics Shifts -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-24

0659 GMT - Bond markets remain driven by the Middle East newsflow, but the underlying dynamics have changed over the last couple of days, Commerzbank's Christoph Rieger says in a note. "As bond markets remain at the mercy of erratic White House headlines, the underlying dynamics appear to be shifting," the head of rates and credit research says. "The focus may shift from fighting inflation to its side effects," he says. In the eurozone, flash estimate purchasing managers indices will be data to watch, "where the question seems to be just how much they will decline," Rieger says. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
