Day 4 books for the inaugural Feb-33 BTP Piu (ISIN: IT0005634792) totalled E1.708bln, bringing total books across the last four days to E13.809bln. Assuming ~90% of total books are made up in the first four days (as was the case for the four previous BTP Valore issues), this implies a total book size of around ~E15.3bln.

  • Books totalled E5.604bln on day 1, E3.738bln on day 2 and E2.759bln on day 3.
  • The BTP Piu will form part of the BTP Valore family and will include an option for an early redemption after 4 years as well as a step-up coupon. The minimum coupon rates are 2.80% for years 1-4 and 3.60% for years 5-8.

The medium-term trend condition in Treasury futures remains bearish and the recovery that started Jan 13, is considered corrective. The contract has traded through the 20-day EMA, at 108-17. This exposes 109-06, the Dec 31 high, and 109-17+, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of the 50-day average is required to strengthen a bullish theme. The bear trigger has been defined at 107-06, the Jan 13 low.
