BONDS – U.S. Treasury bond yields rose slightly with risk-on flows during the overnight trading session.

COMMODITIES – Brent oil futures were down 0.7 percent at $77.69 a barrel, after U.S. President Donald Trump sent a tweet demanding that OPEC reduce prices for crude.

CURRENCIES – The euro briefly topped $1.17 and bond yields also rose on a report that the ECB thinks markets are now too cautious on when it will raise euro zone interest rates next year.
