EGBS: Off Highs As Markets Digest German State CPI
EGBS
Core/semi-core EGBs are off highs, as markets digest the details of this morning’s German state-level CPI data.
- While the NSA monthly state-level data suggests downside risks to consensus, MNI’s calculations indicate a broadly in line annual print. The transport component is seen boosting services CPI in line with expectations.
- Issuance from Germany (15-year Bund) and Spain (10-year syndication) will also be helping to cap rallies, alongside the firmer crude backdrop.
- ECB’s Kazaks noted that there is no assured subsequent rate path beyond the 25bps June cut, with the “last mile” of disinflation expected to be bumpy.
- Bunds are -38 ticks at 129.64, with yesterday afternoon’s US-led selloff still setting the tone.
- The German and French cash curves have bear steepened, while 10-year periphery spreads to Bunds are generally a touch tighter.
- The 10-year BTP/Bund spread was once again unable to breach 132bps this morning.
- The national German flash inflation print is due at 1300BST
