BOND SUMMARY

underpinned the risk-off mood. Confirmation of the first Coronavirus case in the
UK has added to the gloomy feel.

vs -0.5% survey) and fourth quarter French GDP (0.8% Y/Y vs 1.2% survey).

yield levels: 2-year -0.672%, 5-year -0.629%, 10-year -0.420%, 30-year 0.080%.
- French OATs similarly trade slightly stronger.
- The BTP curve has flattened with the 2s10s spread 2bp narrower.
