USD: The Dollar is in the red post Cash Govie open.
Oct-18 06:40
- Despite the higher Yields and risk tilted to the downside (Estoxx is only 5 points down), the Dollar trades in the red across G10, although still in the green overall in the past 5 days, aside from the CHF that is up 0.45% for that period.
- AUD is the best early performer, up 0.39%, and has now gained 1.7% in the past four session, after it found support at 0.6286, printed on the 3rd, 4th, and 13th October, also the lowest level print since November, and now becoming a base.
- Most market participants will continue to watch USDJPY that trades near, but failed to re test the 150.00 handle of late.
BUNDS: Commerzbank: Repo/ASW Capitulation!
Oct-18 06:38
Commerzbank note that “the repo cheapening is broadening beyond GC as Bund specials are hitting multi-year lows vs. €STR and the specialness distribution has fully normalised, underscoring the overriding 'collateral abundance'.”
- “Swap-spreads have also taken a major leg tighter over recent sessions with Schatz-spreads vs. €STR slicing through the key 40bp mark - which is all the more relevant considering the simultaneous increase in implied vols.”
- “With Bund yields back above the levels from before the Hamas attack and short-dated swap spreads tighter, the safety premium is overcompensated by the gravitational forces from cheap repo levels.”
- “We see more arguments for further tightening, have taken profit on our tactical shorts in Schatz vs. Bunds spreads and stay neutral on 30y spreads.”
- “In futures, the Buxl net basis has receded from the highs but switch risk remains in play.”
