BNP on Cash Spreads

CREDIT RESEARCH

BNP's strats view local cash as attractive for swap hedgers. We noted the vol last week in swap spreads (net widening) but recent trends still have credit spreads against swaps +40bps over spreads against bunds. Basis on CDS remains negative (iTraxx was +1bp last week vs. €IG cash +2) & that's adding to BNP's view for favouring cash here.
