CREDIT PRE-MARKET


  • Bunds closed 2-3bp tighter - EGBs started weighed down by supply and a stronger-than-expected headline German factory orders reading. US data including a below-expected ADP private payrolls figure helped boost global core FI in early afternoon trade, but the rally was pared later in the session due in part to a solid US ISM Services report.
  • Main/XO ended +0.9bp/+3bp at 55.3bp/301bp while €IG was -0.8bp (Corps -0.5bp, Fins -1.1bp) and €HY was flat. All IG sectors finished tighter but remain wider WoW. $IG was -0.9bp (Corps -0.9bp, Fins -1.1bp) and $HY was -5bp
  • SXXP ended -0.5% while SPX was -0.3%. €IG movers included Deutsche Pfandbriefbank +13%. WPP +6%, Alraarea +6%, Mckesson -10%, Zimmer Biomet -9%. SX5E/SPX futures are -0.2%.
  • UST yields are drifting lower ahead of the US NFP print. The USD is mostly under pressure, with USD/JPY falling back to fresh lows since August 5. Looking ahead, the calendar is dominated by payrolls and their implications for Fed policy (preview; https://enews.marketnews.com/ct/x/pjJscVKOnuUI6a5gcRF0Gg~k1zZ8KXr-kA8x6mVXJ-tptJe3r5BJw).
