  • No obvious headlines to generate the moves, which come alongside a move away from session lows in European equities and some pressure in the USD.
  • Recovery from European equity lows allows EGBs to move off session wides vs. Bunds.
  • OATs threatened to register a fresh cycle closing wide, given continued political and fiscal risks in France.
  • EGB spreads to Bunds now back to little changed on the day.
  • Tsys still the global outperformer, narrowing by 5.5bp vs. Bunds on the day. (feedthrough of Bessent’s policy preferences dominates there).
  • Gilts 2bp tighter to Bunds, owing to higher beta to U.S. Tsys.
