EU-BOND SYNDICATION: New 3-year / 3.375% Oct-54 tap: Mandate
"The EU has mandated Barclays, BNP Paribas, J.P. Morgan, LBBW and NatWest Markets as Joint Lead Managers for its upcoming EUR Fixed Rate RegS Bearer dual tranche transaction comprising a new long 3-year benchmark line due 4th July 2028 and an increase of EU 3.375% benchmark due 5th October 2054 (EU000A3K4EY2). No further group. The transaction will be launched tomorrow, subject to market conditions. "
MNI comments
- The new 3-year maturing 4 July 2028 was one of the three issues highlighted as likely to launch in H1. We pencil in a tranche size of E5-7bln (we have not seen an EU-bond tranche larger than that since March 2022 - but there is a possibility we go a bit higher with the large H1 EU funding plan).
- The 3.375% Oct-54 tap we pencil in between E4-6bln (possibly partly depending upon the size of the new 3-year).
- We look for a combined E9-13bln total transaction size.

A bull cycle in the Eurostoxx 50 futures contract remains intact and for now, the latest pullback appears corrective. Initial support to watch is 4935.71, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this EMA would undermine a bullish theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. For bulls, resistance at 5040.00, Dec 9 high, has recently been pierced. A clear break of it would resume the bull cycle that started on Nov 21 and open 5068.13, a Fibonacci projection.
