EGB/Gilt: Focus on Lagarde later

BOND SUMMARY
  • EGBs and gilts have largely reversed early weakness with gilts largely unchanged and Bunds a little higher on the day.
  • Peripheral spreads are generally a little tighter, with a few exceptions.
  • Eurozone industrial production was a little better than expected while the final print of Spanish HICP was unchanged from the preliminary print.
  • Issuance this morning has seen decent German 30y Bund and UK 30-year linker auctions while Slovakia is holding a 15-year syndication with books of E5.6bln as per the latest update.
  • The most significant news has been the release of more details for the NextGenEU issuance plans. It has been confirmed that both auctions and syndications will take place with 6-monthly funding updates and with issuance due to start in the summer.
