EGBS: Bunds Within Friday’s Range, OATs Remain Attuned To Fiscal Risks

EGBS

Bund futures ignore the latest round of Chinese property stimulus and subsequent rally in Chinese equities, sticking to a narrow 20-tick range.

  • Contract last +9 at 134.90. Resistance at the Sep 27 high (135.19), support at the Sep 27 low (134.31).
  • France is reportedly considering a temporary tax on companies generating over EUR1bn in revenue and a tax on stock buybacks as it looks to address its well-documented fiscal issues. PM Barnier will speak tomorrow.
  • J.P.Morgan have recommend a “5s/10s France steepener vs. Germany as an attractive low-beta hedge against disruptive French budget tail risk scenarios and risks of potential rating downgrades.”
  • German state and national CPI is due today,
  • Italian, Portuguese & Irish CPI data is also scheduled.
  • Eurozone-wide HICP data is due tomorrow.
  • Multiple sell-side names now call for an October ECB cut following last week’s soft French & Spanish inflation readings.
  • ~20bp of easing is priced in for the October meeting.
  • Elsewhere, ECB President Lagarde will speak in the EU parliament.
  • Fed Chair Powell will speak late in the day (18:55 London). This week’s major U.S. data release comes in the form of Friday’s NFP release.
  • No EUR sovereign issuance of note scheduled for today.
  • Also watch the situation in the Middle East after an Israeli strike late Friday killed the leader of Hezbollah.
