BTP: Citi Flag Risk Of BTP/Bund Move To 75bp

Jun-09 07:12

Citi note that “EGB spreads shrugged off the hawkish ECB cut and neutral risk-asset behaviour last week to extend their tightening”.

  • They suggest that “while BTPs look rich vs other risk assets (and our fair value model), we suspect they are going through a regime change in shedding some of the legacy risk premium. This might have more to go, and any near-term consolidation and the impact of elevated NCR in coming months might give way to 10-Year BTP/Bund spread reaching 75bp over the course of ‘25”.
