Global bonds are mixed with EuroLand going both ways as some of the panic trade is unwound, while Japan sees a continued bid with their 5-yr seeing a 4-year low yield as the currency rockets higher (Reuters). The week ahead has an economic calendar with a batch of higher-quality junk in the trunk while also getting the size of the year's final 3-10-and-30-yr auctions.
