Bund futures continue to respect initial technical resistance, even as BTPs richen further.
As we have noted, Bund futures maintain a firmer technical tone - for now - and bulls eye the nearby November 3 high (130.76), which lies just beyond today’s best levels. A meaningful break there would expose 131.33, the 76.4% retracement of the Sep 1-Oct 4 down leg.
Cash yields are little changed to 5bp lower as the curve flattens. 2s10s pulls further away from the multi-month high lodged in recent weeks to last trade at -37bp, while 5s30s pulls further away from recent ’23 steeps to last print at +27bp.
