CREDIT UPDATE: € Credit Close

CREDIT UPDATE
  • The weekend Biden news was in focus first thing, with a downshift in Trump’s odds giving a bid to govts. The PBoC rate action was also supportive. That strength faded from mid-morning with no obvious catalyst other than risk-on sentiment. DBRs / USTs are left +1/-1bp.
  • China action helped risk sentiment, with €IG stocks +0.9%, led higher by Financials and Tech. Only Communications was in the red with some drag from Verizon -6%. Other notable movers include Ryanair -16%, EasyJet -7%, Rentokil +9%, PostNL +6%. SPX / SXXP left +0.6%/+1.2%.
  • €IG cash closes around 1bp tighter despite some large moves wider. THAMES was down 1-2pts; airlines were up to 10 wider. RTOLN above par bonds widened 18-32bp on PE speculation, while the low price 28s close 62bp tighter due to CoC optionality. HMSOLN moved 15bp tighter following asset sales.
  • CDS reflected the risk on move, Main / XO close at 53.0 / 292, -1.4/-5.
