European fixed income preview 17 May 2016

The morning preview from Livesquawk's head of fixed income James Hirai

Markets are trading risk on after less than dovish RBA minutes overnight and a Telegraph/ORB poll showed 55% were in favour of remain and 40% for leave.

Bunds have come under some pressure since the open, underperforming USTs by 1bp, while we wait for Gilts to open - Gilt futures are called to open 20 ticks lower.

Data focus is on UK CPI (consensus lower) and US CPI (consensus higher).

Speakers are ECB's Praet at 09:00BST, Fed's Williams & Lockhart at 17:00BST and Fed's Kaplan at 18:15BST. Also keep an eye out for the Dell multitranche USD deal which should price today. Order books are ~$60bn with $16-20bn expected to be sold. It's not expected to be swapped, but it could have already been rate locked
