GERMAN AUCTION PREVIEW
GERMAN AUCTION PREVIEW: Germany will re-open the 0.50% Apr-30 iBund and the
0.10% Apr-46 iBund for a combined E0.6bn on Tuesday.
- BACKGROUND: Previous auction results (date, volume allotted, average yield,
Buba cover, bid-to-cover): 0.50% Apr-30 iBund (3 March, E0.18bn, -1.51%, 2.83x,
2.06x), 0% Apr-46 iBund (4 February, E0.18bn, -1.24%, 2.1x, 1.2x).
- RV/HISTORY: German bunds have started the week on the backfoot after markets
were closed on Friday for Labour Day and the ECB on Thursday disappointed those
seeking an expansion to the PEPP facility. Market-based measures of inflation
expectations remain depressed with the EUR 5y5y forward inflation swap trading
at 0.90% and around 20bps above the record low. It is a similar story for German
breakevens, with the 10-year benchmark trading at 0.49%, 26bps above the
all-time low posted in March. There are no significant data releases ahead of
the Tuesday auction, but simmering tensions between the US-China with President
Donald Trump criticising Beijing's handling of the coronavirus crisis, provides
a potential flashpoint.
- TIMING: Results are due out shortly after the auction closes at 1030BST.
