  • SUP 4: $26.451 - Low Aug 8 ‘24 and a key support   

Silver continues to trade in a volatile manner. Last week’s sell-off confirmed a clear reversal of its recent uptrend. The metal has today traded through support at $28.748, the Dec 19 low. A clear break of this level would signal scope for a continued sell-off, towards $27.686, the Sep 6 ‘24 low. Initial resistance to watch is $30.815, the Feb 28 low. The contract is oversold, gains would allow this set-up to unwind.

SWAPS: Front End Of German Curve Leads Spread Widening

Apr-07 07:13

Meaningful German ASW widening early today, a function of the wider risk-off move driven by trade war worries.

  • Spreads vs. 3-month Euribor 3.5-9.5bp wider, front end continues to outperform.
  • Bund ASW vs. 3-month Euribor back into positive territory for the first time since late December.
  • The supply increase projected over the medium-term promotes the continued front end ASW outperformance on rallies.
  • We would guess that short liquidation is also factoring into the moves.
