Steady ahead of US Thanks Giving

EGB SUMMARY

A steady session for EGBs, albeit better bid, as Equities faded yesterday's rallies boosted by the US transition proceeding.

  • Equity pullback was corrective and led by position squaring, profit taking, ahead of FOMC minutes tonight, but mainly going into US Thanks Giving tomorrow.
  • German curve has traded mixed, although leaning bull flatter at the time of writing.
  • Peripheral have lagged somewhat, and as such trade a touch wider versus the German 10yr.
  • BTP printed another record high in Futures, 15157, now trading at 151.33 at the time of typing.
  • Some focus on Portugal, with the 10yr yield reaching another all time low (0.009%), but just short of zero and negative territory.
  • Bund futures are up 0.17 today at 175.43 with 10y Bund yields down -1.6bp at -0.580% and Schatz yields down -1.0bp at -0.761%.
  • BTP futures are up 0.03 today at 151.37 with 10y yields down -0.6bp at 0.605% and 2y yields up 0.6bp at -0.412%.
