The main news out of the US will be the minutes from the January FOMC meeting; discussions on inflation and fiscal stimulus will be particularly interesting.
In the euro area the focus turns to PMI and German ifo expectations - both for January. We believe the business surveys have peaked and will move slightly lower from here.
Other global data to watch will be UK labour market report, Japanese PMI and Chinese house prices.
In Scandi look out for Swedish inflation data and the oil investment survey and unemployment in Norway.

We expect the rise in bond yields to slow down, but see upside risk on a 12M horizon.
