- Investors traded cautiously on Wednesday, amid persisting worries about high inflation and slowing economic growth, and ahead of the crucial ECB meeting today.

- The OECD joined other multilateral institutions by revising down its global growth projections for this year, to 3.0% from 4.5% predicted earlier. On the data front, Eurostat revised Q1 GDP growth for the eurozone, from 0.3% q/q to 0.6%. Separately, this morning trade data in China showed exports rose by 16.9% y/y in May, above expectations.
- In this context, sovereign bond yields rebounded across the board, rising above the 3% threshold for the US 10-year bond and nearing 1.4% for the German Bund.
