EGB SUMMARY
EGB SUMMARY: Bunds are a little weaker (though well off lows) after a day of
choppy trade, while periphery spreads have reversed earlier tightening.
- Little in the way of market-driving data/news: Italy IP data was very weak,
but was for March so ancient history. Interview with ECB's Schnabel / ECB Mersch
speech focused on digital currencies did nothing to move the needle.
- Activity picks up Tuesday, with German/Dutch bond sales, and UK-EU future
partnership negotiations restarting.
- MNI's latest EGB positioning indicator suggests concentrated longs in Schatz
futures; OAT longs have waned though. See Email or contact us for access.
