EGBS: Tight Range For Bunds On Limited Regional Data Calendar
EGBS
Bund futures have traded in a tight 28 tick range this morning on light volumes, currently little changed at 133.59. Today’s regional calendar has been headlined by supply from Italy and Germany, which was digested smoothly.
- Italy sold E3.75bln of BTP Short-term and BTPei’s, while Germany issued E4bln of the 2.50% Oct-29 Bobl.
- This morning’s ECB speakers (de Guindos, Centeno and Rehn) were not major market movers. Rehn re-iterated his view that the ECB can cut rates in December if supported by data and the updated projections. Headlines also suggested that he could support a further rate cut in late-January.
- 10-year EGB spreads to Bunds are little changed. We have seen several sell-side analysts highlight the potential for further OAT/Bund spread widening amid ongoing political/fiscal uncertainty.
- Regional focus remains on the November flash inflation round, starting on Thursday with Spanish and German data.
