See the full document here for a look ahead to the next two weeks of issuance, a recap of this week and a summary of Q4 issuance updates.
The EU will look to hold a syndication in the upcoming week, while Austria, Germany and Ireland are all scheduled to hold auctions. We think there is also scope for a potential Portuguese exchange auction. We pencil in issuance of E17.9bln for the week, down from E22.5bln this week.
- The EU will look to hold a syndication in the W/C 6 October. We lean towards a new 15-year issue given that the other three maturities mentioned for new issues in H2 have already been launched (5/7/30-year). The last time there was a syndicated tap in the 15-year area was in June with E5bln of the 3.375% Oct-39 EU-bond sold.
- Austria will kick off auction issuance for the week Tuesday 7 October. On offer will be a combined E1.15bln of the on-the-run 10-year 2.95% Feb-35 RAGB (ISIN: AT0000A3HU25) alongside the on-the-run 30-year 3.15% Oct-53 RAGB (ISIN: AT0000A33SK7).
- We note that Austria has already completed over 90% of its funding needs for 2025 and this auction and the September auction have been smaller than others held this year and we are likely to see a similarly small auction in November.
- Germany will then come to the market on Tuesday 7 October with E4.5bln of the 2.20% Oct-30 Bobl (ISIN: DE000BU25059) on offer.o
