Gilt/Bund spread a touch tighter

BONDS
  • Small unwind in Bund so far this morning after we tested highest levels since March Yesterday.
  • Nonetheless, volumes are on the low side and we are still in a 21 ticks range, which for the contract is fairly limited (174.65-174.86).
  • Support in Bund will be seen at yesterday's low 174.45.
  • Similar price action in Gilts, with the contract at session low, albeit in a 26 ticks range (128.79-129.05).
  • Gilt support comes at Wednesday's low 128.54.
  • Gilt/Bund spread is 0.3bp tighter, but we are still trading at widest levels since the 10th June.
  • Further widening will target 100.0702.
