EGBs-GILTS CASH CLOSE: Big NGEU Issuance Sets Bearish Tone

BONDS

A huge debut 10-Yr NextGenerationEU syndication set a bearish tone for Tuesday's session, with core FI weaker in a broadly risk-on session.

  • Bunds sold off as it was announced the NGEU size would be the maximum E20bln, which was double most expectations (on books >E142bln).
  • Apart from that we had bond supply from the UK (Gilts, GBP7.75bn), Germany (Schatz, EUR4.068bn allotted) and Finland (RFGBs, EUR1.417bn).
  • Gilts traded mixed; Periphery spreads tighter.
  • UK employment / earnings data impressed; final CPIs carried no surprises.
  • Wednesday sees UK May inflation data, Gilt / Bund supply, and the US Fed decision.
