SPEAKERS & AUCTIONS:
New 6y Gilt Linker //

SUMMARY:
Another relatively quiet day on the docket for Econ Data and Speakers. A couple of quick points (1) yesterday was a quiet as well and the Fed Taper theme continued throughout the day so no reason to think that will not be in play today (2) Germany's PPI on tap - markets could be sensitive to a higher reading given the Bundesbank's comments yesterday (3) U.S data highlight is Chicago Fed. (4) Watch out for a strong linker auction as that may put some real heat on Fixed Income





GLOBAL MACRO THEMES:
FED Tapering in Sept / Debt Ceiling / Student Loans and Muni's Defaults / Eurozone Dysfunctionality / China Slowdown / Japan's Money Printers / UK Improving on higher inflation and falling wages / EM Slowdown in Full Swing


HEADLINES:
Summary: IMPORTANT! Very thematic headline news this AM. Markets are imploding ahead of what we call SeptTaper. No reason to assume this trend won't persist unless CB's start taking to the wires soon.
