BUNDS: /SWAPS: Further ASW Tightening

BUNDS

Pressure on German FI markets here. Potentially driven by the previously covered swap spread tightening, which extends further (Bunds vs. 3-month Euribor as low as -2.9bp, ~4.5bp tighter on the day).

  • Bund futures still ~50 ticks above yesterday’s low, last 131.10.
  • Increased political uncertainty adding to the tightening pressure today, with the opposition CSU Party calling for a no confidence vote to take place "this week or next".
  • A reminder that the Chancellor has chosen to call a confidence vote in the lower house on 15 January 2025.
