BONDS

A mixed day for the European FI space Thursday, with Gilts underperforming, Bunds flat, and periphery spreads tightening.

  • Gilt yields rose steadily for most of the session, leaving the UK/Germany 10Y spread nearing 2-year highs.
  • In the morning, ECB's Rehn said rate hikes were not "within sight". We also had heavy supply, from France (E9bln in OAT) and Spain (E5.2bln in Bono/Obli), plus Austria 15Y syndication (E5bln in RAGB).
