MOSTLY SIDEWAYS TRENDING, BUT WITH A SLIGHT UPSIDE SLOPE,  bids for European high-yield corporate bonds edged out investment-grade securities. Nonetheless an   extended push-pull mode  kept overall price moves channeled in fairly tight bands, resembling much of yesterday's market dynamic.   U.K. inflation touching the highest level in about five years served to push the British   FTSE  and some   Stoxx 600  equities and junk debt higher. However  Germany's   ZEW  data pointed to   disappointing German economic confidence, coming in at 17.6 versus 20.4 expected, pulling some upside moves back, in mean reversion.   Spanish banks remained pressured  amid acute political risk linked to a Catalonian bid for independence, exemplified by pullbacks in   CaixaBank SA  shares.

RISK-OFF SENTIMENT NOTCHED LOWER  among investors in European corporate debt. Relative to yesterday's levels of risk aversion, trades in corporate bonds reflected a   very slight favor for junk bonds in price gains linked to actual trades. Nonetheless   geopolitical overhang amid N. Korean nuclear warhead posturing  kept a lid on gains in risk assets. So too did   pressure on the European insurance sector ahead of projected damage by intense hurricane   Irma, headed for Puerto Rico and Florida. The   Stoxx 600 index vacillated in the shallow red  amid data showing a dip in Germany's manufactured-goods orders, although shares of   Deutsche Bank AG  and  Micro Focus International PLC  posted notable gains.

CAUTION BECAME MORE ACUTE, leading European investment-grade bonds to easily outpace junk debt in net price gains linked to actual trades. Bids for high-yield debt were damped in parallel with a downside shift to the red in the pan-European Stoxx 600, as investors 'hunkered down' ahead of a key U.K. election vote Thursday. In a 'tough-to-call' test of Prime Minister Theresa May's conservative majority, implications will emerge for her forward strength in Brexit negotiations. Meanwhile a Middle-East spat between Qatar and its neighbors weighed on high-yield debt prices, as Nymex oil fluctuated in the $47 range.

EUROPEAN HIGH-YIELD BONDS RETAINED FAVOR, easily outpacing investment-grade debt in net price gains linked to actual trades. Multiple factors conspired to keep investors with a 'risk-on' bias - including the afterglow of victory by France's centrist Emmanuel Macron, upbeat trade data out of Germany, and a pullback in the euro. A string of gains in European shares rounded out the risk-tolerant tone, as the pan-European Stoxx 600 equities index moved to the solid green.
