EGBS: OATs Continue To Benefit From Reduction In Short-Term French Risks
The reduction in short-term French political risk premium continues to filter into the 10-Year SPGB/OAT/PGB fly after the French Socialist Party indicated that it would not support a censure motion against PM Bayrou (vote scheduled for later today).
- The structure is testing the November 21 closing level at -37.1bp, ~19bp off cycle/’25 closing lows.
- While the short-term risks have clearly lessened on that development, medium-term fiscal and political headwinds remain intact, with difficult discussions surrounding pensions and further fiscal tightening needing to be addressed on the coming months.
- As such, Commerzbank continue to suggest that “an ongoing OAT recovery should be used to add to structural shorts in the semi-core complex vs. Iberia.”
