US treasuries also rebounded sharply on Wednesday, with the US 10year falling around 23 points, its largest fall since 2009, having briefly hitting a near 14-year high.

Coming up today, In Australia, the ABS will make the release of a new CPI indicator for Australia covering the months of July and August.
