FINLAND AUCTION PREVIEW
FINLAND AUCTION PREVIEW: Finland on Wednesday reopens 0.50% Sep-29 RFGB for up
to E1bln.
- BACKGROUND: The Sep-29 RFGB launched via syndication in February. This will be
the first tap of the issue.
- RV/HISTORY: Finnish yields have been in freefall since Q4 2018, accelerating
in the past month amid waning risk appetite. With a drop of just over 50bps
since the start of 2019, the Sep-29 RFGB barely carries a positive yield, at
0.024% as of the afternoon of June 4. The yield last dipped negative in Sep
2016. From a spread perspective, 10-Yr RFGBs have widened by just over 1bps vs
equivalent Bunds since the start of May, but have been steady between 21-26bps
for most of 2019. Additionally, it trades 28.0bps inside equivalent EUR swaps,
which is in line with the trailing six-month average (28.3bps).
- TIMING: Results are due shortly after the auction closes at 1100BST.
