EGBS: Recoveries Remain Limited, Bunds Just Above Monday Low
EGBS
Bund futures back towards Monday lows.
- Asia trade saw a modest recovery in Bunds after Tsys rallied into the NY close following strong demand at the latest 7-Year Tsy auction.
- Bunds -8 at 133.65.
- The bearish technical trend in the contract remains intact.
- Monday’s low (133.61) presents initial support. A break would expose the 76.4% retracement of the Nov 6-Dec 2 bull cycle (133.22).
- Bulls initially need to retake the 20-day EMA (134.89).
- OAT futures point to slight widening vs. Bunds at the cash open.
- French PM Bayrou’s pledge to cut deficits, echoing a policy that helped topple the previous government, a likely driver of any early widening.
- Lower tier U.S. data (retail inventories and advanced goods trade balance) present the only releases of any note on the data schedule.
