Bond yields pushed sharply lower overnight, despite weaker data that some could argue would support a pause in Fed rate hikes. But, as NAB\\u2019s Gavin Friend points out, central bank speakers are arguing that there will be no deviation from earlier guidance. That\\u2019s the view in the US, as well as in Europe, despite the Bloomberg report earlier in the week suggesting otherwise. In the UK inflation fell, but not by much and wage pressures continue. In Japan the BoJ is continuing to pursue its yield curve control policy and markets will lump it till they see the flavour of Kuroda\\u2019s replacement. Locally, Australian employment data is out today, with the focus on any glimmer of reduction in the tightness of the labour market.
