Bund futures around 40 ticks higher since cash markets closed yesterday

BUNDS
  • Bund futures ticked higher after the cash close yesterday, driven by the UST 5-year auction at 18:00BST / 19:00CET which saw a decent auction and the 5-year UST trade through.
  • Since around 15 minutes post-auction, we have traded in a 20 tick range between 128.62-128.82 and at the time of writing we sit around the mid-point of that range at 128.73. However, this is still around 40 ticks higher than at the time of the cash close.
  • After little new news at yesterday's ECB meeting, this morning sees the release of French consumer confidence, Spanish GDP and retail sales as well as Italian confidence and wage data.
  • The main drivers could well turn out to be from the US again , however, with core PCE for September and personal income / spending due for release.
  • After cash markets close France (Fitch), ESM / EFSF (Moody's) and Italy (DBRS) are all due for ratings reviews.
