EGB/Gilt - Trading heavy

BONDS

Another busy session in terms of volumes for EGBs and Bund.

  • News flow was a lot lighter, and we haven't learnt anyway new from the speakers so far.
  • Bund is better offered but further downside traction has lost some momentum as desk position for the weekend.
  • Peripherals are mixed, Italy has widened by 3.1bps, while Greece sits 0.4bp tighter.
  • Gilts have underperformed vs the Bund, given the surprising Hawkish BoE yesterday.
  • Regarding the Gilt/Bund, we are 1bp tighter, and some investors have also faded some of the widening bias in the Gilt Bund spread, after we tested highest level since March 2019.
  • Looking ahead, Fed Powell, Clarida, Bowman, George, Bostic, BoE Tenreyro.
  • After markets, Ratings from Fitch on Belgium, S&P on Germany, DBRS on Finland.
  • Gilt futures are down -0.32 today at 126.13
