Shock Italy CPI Erases More ECB-Related Gains

EGBS

Huge Italian inflation beat in the October flash reading sends EGBs lower: HICP comes in 4.0% M/M vs 1.4% expected, 1.7% prior.

  • Housing, Water, Electricity up 25.5% M/M - that's 11.6% of the basket (and way up from 0.5% m/m in Sept's reading). Every other major category was below the 4% M/M headline reading.
  • Bunds head another 120 ticks lower on the release - 144 ticks off on the session and more than halfway to reversing Thursday's ECB-related gains. At 138.66, next support at the 137.57 Oct 27 low.
