European bourses were mixed. The USD fell against the majors with EUR (0.8%) and JPY (0.6%) notable movers, while the USD gained against emerging markets. The 2 year US treasury rallied 3bps, while the long end was unchanged.

The European periphery markets saw yields continue to climb higher, while in Germany and France long end yields came in 2-3bps. Oil fell around 2% on news that OPEC had not reached a final deal on production."
