German government bonds are trading higher Tuesday, taking
cue from weakness in stocks and unsubstantiated market talk relating to
'large demonstrations' and 'unusual troop movements' in Beijing. The
talk is a military coup has taken place and is largely on microblogs in
mainland China. Earlier traders said that the rumour apparently started
after Maoist websites were shut down, ostensibly for "maintenance". Bund
yields have so far struggled to break back below 2.00% yield level, with
focus still on the 200-day moving average at 2.12%. Volumes are seen
thin ahead of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke comments later
today, where he will deliver the first of four lectures at the George
Washington School of Business -- the other dates are March 22, 27 and
29. In terms of supply, there are no sovereign bond auctions scheduled
in the eurozone today, but T-bill issuance comes in thick and fast --
Greece to sell 13-week T-bills for E1.0bln, Spain sells
12-month-/18-month T-bills for up to E5.5bln and EFSF sells six-month
bills for E2.0bln.
