BOND SUMMARY
BOND SUMMARY: Following yesterday's parliamentary defeat of UK PM Theresa May's
Brexit deal, MPs are gearing up for a vote on 'no-deal' Brexit. It is most
likely that MPs will support a Brexit extension, but parliament is in
unchartered waters and the situation remains highly fluid.
- UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond will present the spring budget
statement after PMQs today.
- Gilts have been relatively unfazed by yesterday's vote. Yields are up
~1.6-1.7bp across the curve. Current yield levels: 2-year 0.729%, 5-year 0.908%,
10-year 1.180%, 30-year 1.705%.
- US TSYs are similarly a touch weaker and the curve steeper. The 2s30s spread
trades at 54.4bps up from a low of 52.7bps.
- The Jun-19 JGB future trades at 152.86 in the middle of the morning range.
- The German bund curve has steepened, with 2s30s up 2bp on the day.
- Trading in Italian BTPs have been relatively quiet so far with yields up
~1.5-3.5bp.
- Euro$ futures are down 0.25-1.5 ticks.
