Fresh downside across the Euribor strip on heavy volumes. No obvious headline trigger for the renewed front-end weakness, which looks to be a continuation of the modest hawkish repricing seen through the last two sessions.
- Note that these latest US/China headlines lack substance, and ECB’s Villeroy veered slightly on the dovish side (somewhat as expected given his stance over the past few months).
- ERZ6 briefly registers a multi-month low of 97.935, before moving back to 97.940 at typing. Over 35k lots have gone through in Z6 over the last 15 minutes alone.
- Schatz futures also getting dragged lower by STIRs, now -3 ticks at 106.865 and narrowing the gap to support at 106.84 (equates to 2.10% yield).
