OAT: Spreads Tighten As Bayrou Seems Set To Survive Censure Motion

OAT

OATs narrow as the French socialist party decides not to support the censure motion against PM Bayrou.

  • Recent concession from Bayrou (and perhaps promises of more to come) helps remove some of the political and fiscal risk, at least in the immediate term.
  • OAT/Bunds unwinds almost all of today's ~2.5bp of widening that was in place ahead of the headline.
  • Spread last 73.8bp, comfortably within the multi-week range.
