For the week the index is down more than 5%, its worst weekly showing since March last year when the coronavirus pandemic had sparked fears of a global recession.
Core inflation is expected to dip to 1.4% in January, which could help calm market angst, but any upside surprise would likely accelerate the bond rout.
