EGB Supply for W/C Aug 2

EUROZONE ISSUANCE

Spain, France and Belgium are all still due to issue EGBs this week, while Austria and Germany have already held auctions. We estimate total gross nominal issuance of E18.5bln for the week, slightly lower than last week's E19.9bln.

  • Austria kicked off issuance for the week on Tuesday selling 4/10-year RAGBs. It allotted E700mln of the 0% Apr-25 (issuance volume E805mln) and the E600mln of the 0% Feb-31 (issuance volume E690mln).
  • Germany allotted E3.273bln of the 0% Oct-26 Bobl yesterday with issuance volumes of E4.0bln.
  • Spain will come to the market this morning to sell E4-5bln of benchmark 3/5/10-year nominals and E250-750mln of the 10-year linker: the 0% May-24 Bono, the 0% Jan-26 Bono, the 0.50% Oct-31 Obli and the 1.00% Nov-30 Obli-Ei.
  • France will look to sell E6.5-7.5bln of LT OATs, also this morning. On offer will be the 1.50% May-31 OAT, the 5.75% Oct-32 OAT and the 1.25% May-34 OAT.
  • Belgium will conclude issuance for the week tomorrow through the ORI facility with details to be announced this afternoon.

NET NOMINAL FLOWS: There was one redemption, a BTP with E22.6bln outstanding (originally issued as a 15-year) with E4.9bln of coupons (of which E4.7bln are from Italy). With gross nominal issuance of E18.5bln this would leave net nominal flows at minus E9.0bln for the week, a smaller net contraction in supply than last week's E18.7bln.
