  • Swap spreads tightened, with perhaps some optimism that high-quality collateral will be returning to market a little more quickly than expected.
  • Notably, Schatz ASW dropped around 2bp, touching the lowest level since early July (73.2bp).
  • Front Euribor futures are basically unchanged; not much reaction in BTP spreads either.
