CREDIT PRE-MARKET
  • 2y/10y bunds closed -8bp/-5bp – DM team flagged that weak French and German PMIs took yields lower in the morning.

Short-end spreads underperformed by over 1bp with 1-3yr vs. 7-10yr steepening back under 5bp YTD. $IG was -1bp (Corps -0.9bp, Fins -1.1bp, $HY flat).
  • SXXP ended +0.4% while SPX was +0.3%. €IG movers included National Bank of Greece +5%, Commerzbank -6%, Edenred -6%.
  • SX5E/SPX futures are +0.5%/flat. China’s central bank announced a series of policy changes aimed at supporting the ailing economy and reaching the government’s 5% growth target with Chinese & HK equities rallying while the RBA kept rates unchanged at 4.35% as was unanimously expected as the hawkish tone remained with the board ruling nothing in or out.
