EGBS: Futures Drift Lower; German Curve Flattens Ahead of Schatz Supply

EGBS

Core/semi-core EGB futures have drifted away from intraday highs, with Bund futures now over 20 ticks off the high of 132.65.

  • Short-end supply from Italy and Germany headlined this morning’s calendar, with little notable data or ECB speak.
  • The E4.5bln Schatz auction prompted a light twist flattening of the German cash curve in the run-up to the bidding deadline, with 2-year yields slightly higher today.
  • OAT/Bund spreads have tightened across the curve. Promises of fiscal restraint from RN officials in recent days has prevented an extension of last week’s widening.
  • Canada CPI headlines this afternoon’s macro calendar, with this week’s main risk events skewed towards the end of the week.
