FRANCE AUCTION PREVIEW: France taps 5.50% Apr-29 OAT, 1.50% May-31 OAT and 1.25%
May-36 OAT for between E5.5-E6.5bln on Thursday.
- BACKGROUND: The May-31 last sold on July 5 at 0.86% avg yield and 1.4x cover.
June 7 saw the most recent taps of Apr-29 at 0.86% avg yield and 2.0x cover, and
May-36 at 1.37% yield and 2.1x cover.
- RV/HISTORY: The auction comes at a time of rising volatility, with MT/LT bonds
under pressure globally from the Bank of Japan's July 31 decision to let the JGB
curve steepen. With Japanese investors large buyers of OATs, yields on the bonds
on offer Thursday have hit six-week highs. The 10-Yr segment is been the worst
hit, with yields up 5.8bps since the BOJ meeting, and 11-20-Yrs have likewise
sold off though slightly less at around 5.0bps. This has pushed OAT spreads
wider to JGBs (Apr-29 trading at 4-week wides to JGBs at 60.6bps), but still far
from 80-90bps spreads that have previously attracted Japanese inflows. Spreads
vs Bunds have remained steady (for the 2029 and 2031 at 30bps for example at the
midpoint of one-year 21-41bps range), so no clear mispricing due to volatility.
- TIMING: Auction results are due around 0955GMT.
