Free AccessEGBs-GILTS: Core Heads Lower
Bunds and Gilts are weaker in early Friday trade with BTP spreads tighter, despite equities and FX suggesting a risk-off tone. Not much on the calendar ahead.
- BTPs remain in focus; PM Conte attempting to form a new coalition ahead of a crunch confidence vote in the Senate Tuesday.
- Bunds reversed gains on the open, having earlier taken a cue from Tsys which had rebounded overnight, as well as late Thurs news of tighter lockdowns in Germany and France.
- GIlts under pressure from the open; note UK GDP surprised to the upside.
- Otherwise, 2nd Tier data today; no scheduled central bank speakers or bond supply for the rest of the day, not much new from Stournaras, Vasiliauskas or Makhlouf earlier (painting a cautious picture of the economic outlook).
Latest levels:
- Mar Bund futures (RX) down 20 ticks at 177.64 (L: 177.59 / H: 177.94)
- Mar Gilt futures (G) down 18 ticks at 134.26 (L: 134.17 / H: 134.48)
