EGBS: Spreads To Bunds Marginally Wider

Jan-21 08:58

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.
  • Meanwhile, 10-Year OAT/Bunds last ~77.5bp, with French political and fiscal risks helping keep that spread above 75bp.
  • Supply pressure is set to come via the French and Lithuanian syndications, with German green supply also scheduled.
