GERMAN AUCTION RESULTS: Disappointing Bobl Auction

Oct-07 09:49
  • The 1.11x bid-to-cover achieved at today's auction of the 2.20% Oct-30 Bobl was the joint lowest at a Bobl auction since July 2021 (1.11x was also reached in July 2022). Bid-to-offer also very weak at 0.84x.
  • Demand metrics were similarly weak for other parts of the German curve recently but this has been the first time this has filtered through to the extent seen today to the Bobl segment.
  • The low price achieved at the auction (99.48) was above the secondary market mid-price right before the cutoff (99.467), at least.
  • No discernible price impact of the weak results on the line, this is not untypical for German auctions.
