EUR Market Wrap
CREDIT UPDATE
- 2y/10y bunds are +1bp/flat after UK retail sales were much softer than expected, but the market impact was limited while German Q1 GDP confirmed flash estimates at 0.2% Q/Q and comments from ECB’s Schnabel added little new to the debate.
- Main/XO are flat/+1bp while FICM shows €IG/€HY at flat/+1bp with swap spreads implying similar moves vs. govies. Primary closed.
- IG curve movers include Thames Water (up to 18bp wider), Verallia (5-6bp wider on S&P outlook change), Acciona (5-6bps wider on guidance cut).
- SXXP is -0.5% with Autos and Retail the only sectors in the green. SPX futures +0.3%. Main €IG mover is Acciona -9%.
