EGBS: Tight German Ranges In Asia As Event Risks Nears

EGBS

Bund futures in the middle of a tight 20-tick Asia range, -7 at 131.73.

  • Bearish technicals remain intact.
  • Support zone at 131.15/00 was not tested during yesterday’s morning sell off.
  • To the upside, initial resistance seen at the September 2 low (132.65).
  • Core global FI stuck to narrow ranges overnight, with impending U.S. election risk keeping many participants sidelined.
  • Comments from ECB’s Schnabel & Vujcic due today, no tier 1 European data.
  • That should leave macro headline flow and any last-minute U.S. election setup at the fore.
  • In the background note that the German coalition committee will meet tomorrow, as internal government issues remain evident.
  • Supply-wise, Austria will hold an RAGB auction to sell a combined EUR1.725bln of the 2.90% Feb-34 RAGB (ISIN: AT0000A39UW5) and the 3.15% Jun-44 RAGB (ISIN: AT0000A0VRQ6).
