Equities Edge Higher, Modest Spread Tightening
EGBS
The latest uptick in European equity benchmarks provides some tailwinds for the periphery.
- Still, feedthrough remains modest, with spreads to Bunds less than 1bp tighter on the day.
- Smooth passage of this morning’s supply removes one headwind for German paper.
- 10-Year BTP/Bund & OAT/Bund spreads remain rangebound.
- No tangible impact from ECB’s Panetta, who reaffirmed the likelihood of further monetary easing and the need for fiscal consolidation in Italy.
