EGBS: Supported By Post US Open Equity Weakness

EGBS

Core FI has been supported by the latest round of equity weakness, with Bund futures gaining ~30 ticks since the US cash open to move back to 132.30. Today’s session high of 132.50 remains untested for now. 

  • 10-year peripheral spreads to Bunds unsurprisingly widen, with the BTP/Bund spread now back at 109bps (+0.5bps on the session).
  • SPGBs underperform peers slightly (+1bp today at 63bps), with today’s 15-year syndication mandate weighing at the margin. We expect a transaction tomorrow and pencil in a wide E5-10bln range. Meanwhile, headlines noting that the government will propose writing off E83bln of regional debt were not market moving, having been part of an agreement signed by the government in 2023.
