- The OAT/Bund spread is little changed this morning at 79bps, with yesterday’s headlines surrounding further fiscal slippage still weighing. See here for more: https://marketnews.com/oat-wider-as-armand-highlights-fiscal-fragility
- The BTP/Bund spread is 2bps narrower at 133bps, but remains slightly above yesterday’s tightest levels of ~132bps.
