BUNDS: /SWAPS: ASWs A touch Wider On Politics & Data, Moves Limited
BUNDS
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.
- Moves back above 0bp in Bund vs. 3-month Euribor ASW remain shallow and short-lived.
- 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).
