EGBs-GILTS CASH CLOSE: Peripheries Outperform On ECB Steadiness

BONDS

  • Italian and Greek spreads tightened sharply as the ECB meeting did not offer many significant surprises; staff macro projections were revised higher.
  • Supply came from Italy (BTPs, EUR7.75bn) and Ireland (IGBs,EUR1.25bn).
  • UK GDP highlights Friday's docket; several speakers including ECB's Holzman and Knot, BOE's Bailey/Ramsden/Cunliffe as well as Chancellor Sunak.
