A busy day for Govies

EGB SUMMARY

Bund unwinds from the low with the move looking more corrective than Month End related given the small pace of the pullback.

  • Nonetheless Month End flow can't be ruled out with a decent Barcap extension for European Govies, although we still have one day left.
  • German 5/30s continues to fade the steepening bias after testing highest levels since July 2019 this morning.
  • The pullback is mainly driven by the stronger selling of the shorter end, Bobl and Schatz.
  • Peripheral trades close to flat against the German 10yr, with Greece 2.1bps tighter.
  • Looking ahead, Riksbank Ingves and Fed Williams are the speakers left on the calendar
  • Jun Bund futures (RX) down 72 ticks at 170.9 (L: 170.71 / H: 171.56)
  • Germany: The 2-Yr yield is up 2.3bps at -0.686%, 5-Yr is up 4.2bps at -0.615%, 10-Yr is up 4.9bps at -0.269%, and 30-Yr is up 3.6bps at 0.284%.
