EGBS: 10-year OAT/Bund Tighter Alongside Broader EGBs, Politics Still In Focus
EGBS
- Further to the above, political machinations in France following last week’s no confidence vote remain a key focus for EGB markets. The 10-year OAT/Bund spread is ~0.5bp tighter today at 76bps.
- President Macron is set to meet with parliamentary groups this morning, with Le Parisien reporting that he hopes to name a PM tomorrow.
- Meanwhile, Budget Minister Saint-Martin has announced that the special law to keep the state running into the next year is “ready”.
- Although the 10-year OAT/Bund spread narrowed ~10bps from wides on a lack of further political escalation last week, the political and fiscal situation in France remains fragile, likely limiting the scope for further compression for now.
- Broader 10-year EGB spreads to Bunds continue to trade tighter this morning, but have moved away from from lowest levels as the China-driven bid in European equity futures fades a little.
