EGBS: BTPs Outperform As Spreads Unwind A Good Deal Of Yesterday's Widening
- 10-year EGB spreads to Bunds have unwound a good deal of yesterday morning’s risk-off widening, with the risk backdrop having stabilised slightly compared to the prior three sessions. The BTP/Bund spread is almost 4bps narrower at 121.5bps, after briefly marking above 130bps yesterday.
- This morning, Sole 24 Ore reported that the Italian Government will revise its 2025 GDP forecast down to 0.6%, from 1.2% in its October projection round. Growth is expected to range from 0.7-0.8% in 2026/27.
- Although this would present a less favourable denominator for achieving the Government’s 3.3% 2025 budget deficit projection, we note that the 2024 budget deficit was four tenths lower than originally expected at 3.4%.
- Tariff-related headlines remain in focus for EGBs today, with the global data calendar relatively light. Tomorrow, EU member states are set to vote on retaliatory tariffs against the US’ levies on steel and aluminium imports.

- Notably, successful lobbying from Italy, France and Ireland has seen bourbon, wine and dairy tariffs excluded from the Commission’s proposal. As such, the magnitude of the tariffs will be lower than the previously announced E26bln.
