EM LATAM CREDIT: Nutresa: 3Q25 Earnings - Positive

• In the FI space, Bund futures continue to trade above their recent lows. Short-term gains appear corrective. Key support and the bear trigger lies at 127.61, the Sep 3 low. Clearance of this level would cancel a recent bullish theme and confirm a continuation of the medium-term bear cycle. For bulls, a clear reversal higher would refocus attention on key resistance at 129.44, the Sep 10 high. First resistance is 128.84, 61.8% of the Sep 10 - 25 bear leg.
• Gilt futures remain above their latest lows. The move down last week strengthens a bearish theme and does suggest the end of the recent corrective phase between Sep 3 - 11. Note that on the continuation chart, moving average studies are in a bear-mode position, highlighting a dominant downtrend. A resumption of weakness would open 89.94, the 76.4% retracement of the Sep 3 - 11 corrective phase. Initial resistance to watch is 91.28, the Sep 24 high.

The 10-Year Tsy/Bund spread has rallied by ~10bp from September’s closing lows, last ~143bp.

• That comes after a sell off from the post-Liberation Day closing high of ~196bp.
• Bank of America believe that the break down in the Tsy/Bund correlation seen during the move “cannot be explained by relative breakeven or asset swap spread moves”.
• They go on to write “given the intense focus on German fiscal developments, term premium is considered by many investors as the driving force of EUR rate underperformance. However, term premium has corrected lower since May and more so in Germany than the U.S.”.
• They argue that “instead, the driving force of the relative rate underperformance is the repricing of the ECB”.
• As such, Bank of America see “a value proposition in EUR duration, not least since the ECB has to acknowledge the risk of asymmetry in the outlook”.
