EGBS: Firmer Alongside Core FI, Markets Eye US CPI
EGBS
Bund futures followed USTs higher overnight and currently trade just short of intraday highs, +35 ticks at 135.12. This week’s rally has exposed key resistance and the bull trigger at 135.66, the August 5 high.
- Vice President Harris was deemed the winner of last night’s presidential debate, prompting an unwind of “Trump trades” centred around reflation and fiscal easing.
- Today’s regional calendar has otherwise been light, with primary macro focus on the US CPI report at 1330BST/1430CET.
- Today’s 10-year Bund supply was digested smoothly, but pre-auction hedging pressure may have contributed to the intraday tightening in broader EGB spreads (alongside a move off overnight lows in European equities).
- A reminder that the ECB are unanimously expected to cut rates by 25bps at tomorrow’s meeting.
