Trump’s apparent focus on imposing tariffs on Mexico & Canada in the coming weeks helps promote some modest EGB spread widening to Bunds today, although the major 10-Year cross-market differentials are within 1bp of yesterday’s closing level.
- Bund futures have pulled back from overnight highs, limiting the spread widening as the risk-off moves fade from extremes.
- 10-Year BTP/Bunds closed below 110bp, with cycle closing lows located at 106.4bp.

- Supply pressure is set to come via the French and Lithuanian syndications, with German green supply also scheduled.

- EURUSD would need to drift to 1.0320 to reverse that move.
