EGB/Gilt - At best levels post the US CPI miss

BONDS
  • A busier session for EGBs and the Bund.
  • Volume this morning for the German 10yr trended at 173% of 10d averages.
  • The contract was better offered going into the US CPI, but the small print below expectation saw much better buying going into Bonds and Bunds is now trading at the top end of the range.
  • One of the interesting thing has been that the volume on the move higher has less than on the way down this morning.
  • Gilts are lagging Bund, after the UK employment data beat on the open set out the tone for the contract.
  • Nonetheless, Gilt are also at session high, all US data driven.
  • Gilt/Bund spread has widened a touch, by 1bp.
  • Looking ahead, we have nothing left for the session, but focus quickly turns to the UK CPI tomorrow morning
