On the bond market, the Rizzo Farrugia MGS Index dipped 0.1 per cent to 1,027.341 points as the benchmark 10-year Eurozone yield surged above the 1.6 per cent level given the unexpected return to growth of eurozone’s private industry.

Data published this morning revealed that manufacturing activity in the Eurozone grew for the first time in more than one and a half years thereby relieving some of the pressure off the European Central Bank to loosen further its monetary policy.
