BONDS
  • A 54 ticks range for Bund, dipped lower on the open following the UK Employment and Earning beat, but price action has been limited, with Real Money on the sidelines ahead of the awaited US CPI.
  • Bobl and BTP, underpeform, weighted by heavy German 5yr Bobl supply and heavy Italian short and long supply.
  • Move in EGBs, sees widening between core and semi core, with Italy leading, 2.3bps wider against the German 10yr.
  • Gilt trades in a 38 ticks range after gaping lower on the open, following the UK Data, but the contract has failed to extend losses and has found a bid, but is still short of the opening gap that would be back up to 95.26, printed a 95.18 high so far, and trading at 95.00 at the time of typing.
