BUNDS: /SWAPS: ASWs A Little Narrower Despite PMI Misses
BUNDS
ASWs little changed to a touch narrower this morning, despite the softer-than-expected French & German flash PMIs.
- This comes after the recent widening from cycle/all-time lows across German ASWs.
- Commerzbank have turned a little more constructive on the short-term outlook for swap spreads.
- They write “with short-end repo spreads fairly stable, the recovery of ASW spreads could continue into year-end, after the cheapening to unprecedented levels last week. Term and forward repo spreads are still very high with ample of room to converge with the lower short-term levels and sovereign bond backflows are providing investors with ample cash into year-end.”
