French Politics Continues To Reverberate

CROSS ASSET

Familiar drivers/headline themes remain intact through the NY crossover, with the 10-Year OAT/Bund spread hitting fresh multi-year wides, leaving the EUR on the defensive and broader EGB spreads wider vs. Bunds.

  • To recap, uncertainty surrounding French President Macron’s future prompted a fresh round of EGB spread widening flow (despite subsequent denial & reassurances) and pressure for semi-core/peripheral EGBS this morning, also undermining the EUR in FX trade and unsettling European equity indices.
  • EUR CDS are wider, as French political matters also factor in there. French financials are under particular pressure as a result.
  • Slightly softer-than-expected labour market data out of the UK, coupled with spread related demand for core global FI, provided some insulation for gilts.
  • Note that core global FI markets are firmer on the day.
  • Scheduled macro risk is light from here, with increased focus set to fall on the U.S. 10-Year Tsy auction after tepid demand at yesterday’s 3-Year offering.
  • Tomorrow’s U.S. CPI data and FOMC decision continues to garner the bulk of the macro interest.
