EUR MARKET WRAP

CREDIT PRE-MARKET


  • EGB opened wider and traded sideways yesterday post-BOJ amidst sparse headline flow before selling-off from 2pm onwards after weaker-than-expected EZ consumer confidence did little to reduce pressure. 2y/10y bunds ended +2.5bp/+6bp.
  • All of yesterday’s deals came from FIGs with four bank deals (€1.1bn SP, €0.5BN T2), a €0.65bn Insurance deal, €100mn from Other Financial and €3.25bn in Covereds. Deals performed well, particularly the Ibercaja Sr Pref tightening 45bps with cover of ~10x.
  • Main/XO moved +1.3/6.1bp with MoM moves now +1.3bp/13bp. €IG/€HY ended -0.6/-6.6bp with Fins broadly in line with Corps despite the supply tilt. AAA bonds were the only bucket to widen while B bonds are now 1.5% tighter over the past 3m. Insurance (Sr) was the only IG sector ending wider, at +0.7bp.
  • SXXP ended -0.3% with defensives underperforming at -1% while the IBEX declined -1.1%. Real Estate and Basic Resources were the biggest movers at -1.3%/+1.9% though it was VW that grabbed headlines at +5.4% after an analyst call suggesting Q4 was in line and the current environment mightn’t be as bad as believed.
  • Asian equities are mixed today with Japanese equities lower after PMI’s showed a modest decline in manufacturing and an even stronger service sector. In the US, Trump won in New Hampshire, now two states for two. SXXP futures are +0.4% DoD.
