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.
