EGBS: Stronger Following UK CPI, European Equity Pullback
EGBS
EGBs have taken cues from Gilts and European equities this morning, with today’s regional macro calendar limited.
- Lower-than-expected UK CPI drove the initial bid in Bund futures, while European stocks remain under pressure following yesterday’s weaker-than-expected LVMH and ASML earnings.
- Bund futures are +25 at 134.00, a little above the first resistance at the 20-day EMA. A clear break of this average is required to counter a bearish technical theme.
- 10-year peripheral spreads to Bunds have narrowed away from opening wides, with the BTP/Bund spread now little changed at 124bps (the spread closed at its tightest since mid-March yesterday at 123.5bps).
- Italian Finance Minister Giorgetti is currently delivering a press conference on the 2025 budget, which was approved by the Cabinet last night.
- 30-year Bund supply is due at 1030BST/1130CET.
