EGBs-GILTS CASH CLOSE: Bunds Cheapen Vs Swaps On High TLTRO Repayments

European yields rose continuously for most of Friday's session, with core FI erasing most of the week's rally.

• The German curve weakened in parallel, while the UK curve was mixed.
• ECB TLTRO repayments came in higher than expected at E447.5bln
• Asset swap spreads tightened as German yields rose, with collateral seen coming back to market, thereby easing shortages.
• The biggest single move of the day, though, came after US producer price data came in higher than expected - 10Y Bund and Gilt yields rose over 4bp.
• Attention turns to next week's heavy central bank schedule, with decisions among others by the ECB, BoE, and Federal Reserve.
