Last week ended with both equities and bonds lower following the Fed's hawkish message with rates staying higher for longer to deal with inflation and the strong economy which lifted the longer end of the US yield curve.

US consumer confidence figures tomorrow are also key to track and on Friday the market will get the latest PCE inflation data.
