MORNING BID EUROPE-Britain at centre of bond market storm
Live MintA look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Kevin Buckland The British bond market has become the focus of global investor attention, for some unenviable reasons. And of bigger global consequence, the uncertain impact of incoming U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs and immigration curbs on inflation have both investors and Federal Reserve officials concerned. The economic data stateside is already flashing warning signs about the stickiness of price pressures, spurring traders to pare bets for Fed easing this year to just 41 basis points, shy of the 50 basis points Fed officials mooted just last month. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman, Boston Fed President Susan Collins, Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid, Philly Fed President Patrick Harker and Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin also take the podium at various venues. Key developments that could influence markets on Thursday: * Germany industrial production, trade data * Euro zone retail sales * BoE Deputy Governor Breeden speaks * Fed officials Bowman, Collins, Schmid, Harker and Barkin speak * U.S. stock market holiday
