US rates :

US bond-yields sold-off +15bp across the curve, with a bear-flattening bias week-on-week. The 2y was up +15bp to 4.64%, against the 10y +10bp to 4.28%. This was primarily driven by

• the US CPI coming in hotter than expected at 3.1% (non-core) YoY vs 2.9% expected
• and (equity) markets having front-run weak inflation and a goldilocks scenario aggressively before the inflation print.
