EGBS: Natixis Recommend SPGB 5s10s Flattener Boxed Vs. BTPs

Apr-30 09:55

Natixis recommend entering SPGB 5s10s flatteners boxed against BTP 5s10s steepeners.

  • They believe that at the current juncture “the tightening potential of EGB spreads is limited. We even believe the pay-off of sovereign spreads is now asymmetrical with widening risks taking over at some point.
  • Natixis suggest that “BTPs look more vulnerable than SPGBs, with Spain set to remain the top macro performer of the Eurozone”, while noting that the Italian macro situation is closer to Germany’s.
  • They also think that “the shape of the Italian curve does not properly reflect potential vulnerabilities”.
