10-year Treasury yields slid lower over yesterday’s session, retracing more than 9bps from Wednesday’s post-FOMC high of 5.02, with much of the move seemingly driven by falling oil prices, as Brent crude oil sank $3.5 to intraday lows below $102/bbl before retracing to $104/bbl.

Speaking of non-EU members, the Bank of England announced its decision to hold Bank Rate unchanged at 3.75% in a 6-3 vote. Rabobank’s BoE whisperer, Stefan Koopman, highlights in a Bank of England Comment that there is a case for the Bank to tighten borrowing conditions further, suggesting that November is a live meeting.
