Focus remains on EGBs

BONDS
  • Bund futures hit new lows overnight as Asia reacted to the moves seen previously. During the European morning session we have reversed these moves and are now 65 ticks off the lows, largely in line with Friday's close. BTP futures have also moved off their lows, with peripheral generally around unchanged on the day (with GGB-Bund yields a bit tighter).
  • Treasuries and gilts are also off their overnight/early European lows, but remain lower on the day. With some optimism surrounding the Ukraine situation in particular, we have seen the short-end of the curve see yields move higher (in contrast to Schatz).
  • TY1 futures are down -0-4+ today at 126-24+ with 10y UST yields up 1.3bp at 1.930% and 2y yields up 2.4bp at 1.316%.
  • Bund futures are up 0.38 today at 165.98 with 10y Bund yields down -1.7bp at 0.208% and Schatz yields down -4.0bp at -0.335%.
  • Gilt futures are down -0.14 today at 120.81 with 10y yields up 2.7bp at 1.434% and 2y yields up 2.7bp at 1.289%.
