BONDS: Fresh Demand
BONDS
Bonds have moved away from session lows, NY reaction to Trump nominating Bessent for Tsy Secretary a likely driver here.
- 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.
- TY & gilt futures register fresh session highs.
