CCTeu for up to E3.5bln. 10-yr Bund/BTP spread has widened by 2.5bp to 117.9bps
this morning as markets build in concessions following decent outperformance in
last couple of weeks which has seen the spread tighten from 132.8bps.
- French preliminary Q1 GDP came in softer than expected at +0.3% q/q, while
flash HICP for April remained steady from March at 1.6% y/y. German import
prices remained flat on the month. Still to come this morning is Eurozone
