EGBS: Rallying, OATs Outperform
EGBS
Bunds through initial resistance on the broader risk-off price action flagged earlier.
- Futures trade as high as 135.38, before easing back to 135.30.
- The September 27 high (135.19) has been breached, with bulls now eying the September 11 peak (135.49).
- German yields 1-4bp lower, curve bull flattens.
- Only GGBs widen vs. Bunds at the 10-Year point, with the remainder of the spreads we actively monitor little changed to tighter.
- OATs the outperformer, seemingly benefitting from increased odds of French fiscal tightening following the headlines that we outlined earlier (PM Barnier is set to present these measures at 15:00 CET).
- OAT/Bunds 2bp tighter at 77bp.
- No tangible reaction in EU bonds following the announcement of the impending launch of the EU-bond repo facility (October 7).
- Likewise, no tangible reaction in SPGB spreads following firmer-than-expected Spanish manufacturing PMI data.
