Clarification of the German election timeline (confidence vote on December 16, subsequent election on February 23) and the soft German ZEW data promotes modest ASW widening today, 3-month Euribor spreads 0.5-0.8bp higher last.

  • Sell-side names remain cautious when it comes to the idea of wideners, with the medium-term drivers of the structural narrowing intact (grater collateral availability owing to issuance needs/free float and receiver-side flows in swaps, linked to continued ECB easing).
