Bunds extend rise, hit session high after US data

LONDON: German Bund futures rose to a session high after slightly worse than expected U.S jobs and manufacturing data added to worries about the health of the world's largest economy and supported flows into low risk assets.

Bund futures climbed to 141.17, up 68 ticks on the day, extending a steady creep higher after the US jobless claims and Market purchasing managers' index data lifted demand.
