Largest 1 day drop since December for Italy 10yr yield

BONDS
  • EGBs and Bund are consolidating some of the post FOMC sell-offs, but Bund still trade in red territory.
  • The standout for today's session has been the BTP, with the largest single day drop in 10yr yield since 17th December.
  • Investors likely favoured looking for yield after the Italian 10yr printed highest yield since 18/06/20.
  • This translated in a tighter BTP/Bund spread, after the spread traded at widest levels since Sep 2020.
  • Gilt are trading in line with Germany, which is shown by a flat Gilt/Bund spread.
  • Looking ahead, very short term, focus will turn to Month End, tomorrow late in the day and into Monday.
