Off Highs Following Upward Manufacturing PMI Revisions
EGBS
Core/semi-core EGBs are off intraday highs following mixed signals in the April manufacturing PMIs.
- Bunds rallied after the Italian PMI printed notably below consensus at 47.3 (vs 50.4 cons), but gains were pared after the French, German and Eurozone final releases were revised upward.
- The overall backdrop remains positive though, following yesterday’s less hawkish than expected Fed meeting.
- Bunds are +42 ticks at 130.50, though the technical trend outlook remains bearish.
- German and French cash yields are 3 to 4bps lower today.
- This morning’s LT OAT auction saw solid demand metrics across lines.
- 10-year periphery spreads to Bunds are tighter this morning, with European equity softness preventing any more notable moves to the downside.
- The remainder of today’s regional data calendar is light, leaving markets to focus on this afternoon’s US data releases.
- ECB’s Lane is scheduled to speak after hours.
