USD consolidated Asian session gains in the ongoing session. European equities are losing over 1.5% and the relative strength winner is GBP while EUR lags.
Spanish 10 year yield continues to push higher, currently around 6.01%. The rise is attributed to Bank of Spain monthly bulletin that suggest that GDP continued to fall in Q3 at significant pace.

German CPI is still being collected and final result should be announced at 8:00 am ET. Most states that already published results saw annual inflation rate easing to 2% or even below. General consensus is for CPI to slow to 2.0% from 2.1%.
Italy reached a full take up as it sold 6 month BOT totaling EUR 9 bln. The average yield declined to 1.503% from 1.585% but cover fell to 1.39 from 1.69. Italian 10 year yield rose to 5.18%.
The upcoming session will bring new home sales due at 10:00 am ET that are anticipated to rise in August to 380K from previous 372K.
