EGBS: 10-year Spreads To Bunds Wider As European Equities Soften
EGBS
Aforementioned equity weakness (which has started to retrace at typing) leaves 10-year EGB spreads to Bunds up to 1bp wider today.
- BTP and OAT spreads remain within yesterday’s ranges.
- Overnight, Italian Finance Minister Giorgetti said Italy may not reach its 2024 GDP growth target, following ISTAT’s downward revision to Q2 growth last week.
- However, he said that this would not “raise concerns for the following years”.
- We have previously noted the Italian Government’s medium-term fiscal forecasts appear somewhat optimistic relative to consensus.
- ECB’s Kazimir is scheduled to speak at 0900BST/1000CET. On Sep 16, he said that “we will almost surely need to wait until December for a clearer picture before making our next move”. However, this was before the weak September flash PMI/inflation data was released.
