Key Quotes
“European bond markets still remain in the spotlight with the 10y bund yield rising to a new high on Wednesday and contributing to the ongoing firm tone in EURUSD.”

This suggests that once bond market conditions normalize (our European rates strategists see bund yields now much closer to fair value) EURUSD would be vulnerable to significant downside.”
