A gauge of the dollar’s strength swung between modest losses and gains and Treasury yields inched lower after Thursday’s bond rout

European stocks slipped while U.S. futures crept higher, led by Nasdaq 100 futures

The greenback traded mixed versus its Group-of-10 peers, though moves were confined to recent ranges; the euro slipped below $1.19

After futures led another bruising selloff in Treasuries on Thursday, the evidence is mounting that a big short position is responsible. Open interest in 10-year notes surged by almost 150,000 contracts, according to preliminary data, the equivalent of $14 billion in the cash bonds. Coupled with the price move, that suggests new short positions were added with overall open interest climbing to the highest in over a year

The yen rose to a one-week high versus the greenback amid short covering after Bank of Japan’s policy decision, before paring its advance

Japanese government bonds edged lower after the central bank set out a wider-than-previously-thought movement range for bond yields and scrapped a buying target for stock funds at the end of a three-month policy review; it also said it will provide the specific amounts it’s spending on bond purchases, instead of a range, in its monthly plan starting from its April operations

The Aussie trimmed a loss in European session after falling to a day low after February retail sales missed all economists’ estimates

Oil, one of the most-favored reflation trades, just took a heavy beating. Prices headed for the biggest weekly slump since October after a sell-off driven by concerns that recent gains had been too rapid given mixed signals about near-term demand and a rising dollar

Treasury holdings at primary dealers fell another $16.1 billion in the week to March 10, extending a record $64.7 billion decline the previous week, according to Federal Reserve data released Thursday. Holdings have dropped to their lowest since October 2018, with declines across much of the curve and only seven to eleven year maturities seeing an increase

Armed with an all-clear for AstraZeneca Plc’s vaccine from EU regulators, European leaders must get a grip on a vaccine drive that’s lagging the U.S. and the U.K. and potentially delaying an economic recovery. The rising pace of cases and a renewed four-week lockdown in parts of France underscore the urgency of the threat

U.K. government borrowing totaled 19.1 billion pounds ($26.6 billion) in February, reflecting the cost of supporting the economy through a third lockdown to fight the coronavirus. The shortfall left the budget deficit for the first 11 months of the fiscal year at 278.8 billion pounds, almost six times the amount borrowed in the same period a year earlier, Office for National Statistics figures published Friday show. Net debt climbed to 97.5% of GDP, near the highest since the early 1960s

Denmark’s central bank will switch from operating one negative interest rate to three by the end of this week, joining several other peers that have overhauled frameworks in a bid to fine-tune their policy levers

The yen is expected to stay under downward pressure as the market’s focus shifts back to U.S. yields after the Bank of Japan’s policy review was largely in line with market expectations, says Masahiro Ichikawa, chief market strategist of Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management
