EUR Market Wrap
CREDIT PRE-MARKET
- Bunds ended Friday 3-6bps tighter, initially opening tighter on a lack of hawkish offerings from the BoJ governor while slightly lower Euro area inflation expectations did little to reverse the bridge before another move tighter in the PM in line with USTs in the wake of dovishly-received US PCE. WoW bunds widened by 6-9bps.
- Main/XO closed -2/-11bp to bring the WoW move to -5bp/-20bp compared to -6bp/-25 for CDX IG/HY. €IG/€HY closed flat/+1bp to give WoW moves of -4bp/-5bp with the short-end outperforming in €IG by ~1bp. Financials were the biggest WoW tightener at -5bp with all sectors now tighter MoM except Utilities (broadly flat on the month vs. -3bp for €IG).
- SXXP closed +1.1% on Friday bringing the WoW move to +1.7% (in line with SPX). Chemicals and Autos were the only SXXP sectors in the red on the week at just over -2% and -1% each.
- Asian equities are mixed but broadly higher with CSI 300 & HSI ~3% higher as the property sector surged after CIFI holdings announced an agreement with bondholders regarding offshore liquidity. Stoxx 50 futures are +1.6%. Up today:
