EGBS: Spreads Tighten As Risk Sentiment Recovers

EGBS

EGBs have been pressures alongside wider core FI this morning, with an ongoing recovery in risk sentiment seeing Bunds underperform peers.

  • Dovish commentary from BoJ Deputy Governor Uchida did not materially impact Bund futures overnight, nor did the stronger-than-expected German industrial production reading earlier.
  • 10-year spreads to Bunds have tightened amid the rally in European equities, with the BTP/Bund spread 2bps tighter at 143bps and the OAT/Bund spread back at 74bps (from over 80bps on Monday).
  • Bund futures are 101 ticks lower today at 134.02, through the first support of 134.39 (Aug 2 low). The 20-day EMA at 133.25 provides the next target for bears.         
  • The German and French cash curves have bear steepened, with the German 2s10s at its steepest since December 2022 at -15.9bps.
  • Today’s 15-year Bund supply was digested smoothly. 
  • The remainder of today’s macro calendar is light.
