EGBS: Softer Start
EGBS
Bund futures a little softer overnight as e-minis and oil tick higher.
- Contract last -30 at 133.24.
- Initial support and resistance 133.72/135.02, bearish technical cycle remains intact.
- ECB speak over the weekend generally stuck to script (more to come on that in the regular morning STIR bullet).
- Franch PM Bayrou is still yet to form a cabinet, he previously stated that he wanted to form one by Christmas at the latest.
- The Socialist Party has noted that Bayrou has so far failed to show sufficient willingness to break away from predecessor Barnier’s policies/ideologies.
- No meaningful OAT/Bund widening signal from futures ahead of the cash open.
- U.S. durable goods and consumer confidence data due today, little of note scheduled from Europe.
- On the supply front, no EGB auctions, syndications or redemptions are expected this week, owing to the holiday period. Coupon payments are negligible.
