Region: Europe

Real yields are starting to bite, China is Europe’s problem, really. 6% peak back on the table.

Yields at 15-year highs pressure equities, PBoC pushing back against weak yuan, and sterling stumbles after retail sales miss.

Elevated core inflation supportive of the pound, the grass is greener in the US, and China pushed down euro below $1.09.

Pound edges up after inflation, euro steady despite weak China data, strong US consumer helps dollar.

UK wage growth hits record high, dollar hits 1-month high, and the euro is cushioned by China rate cut.

It’s all about the dollar but gains still limited, China is limiting the euro’s potential, and the pound mixed before UK wage and inflation data.
