BUNDS: The 10yr 2.60% Yield holds for now, Supply in Focus Today

Jun-10 06:20
  • There's very little change for Bund versus Yesterday's session, given a few ticks either way, the contract is closer to Yesterday's mid range.
  • The pre Cash Open bid in EGBs was driven by that sudden fall in US and EU Equities, which looked to be more Order flow related, with some 12k sold in the Emini in a ~5 minutes window, both the Emini and VGM5 are off the lows now with small moves Overall in Risk, and no real traction in ESM5 and VGM5.
  • Back to the German Bund, the 2.60% level is actually the main part regarding the levels in Futures.
  • The German 10yr Yield made a 2.594% high on the 29th May, a 2.592% last Thursday, and 2.593% high Yesterday, this level equated to 130.07 Yesterday.
  • Resistance are at 131.00, 131.28, 131.50.
  • With UK Employment on the softer side Data out of the way, there are no Tier 1 Data left for the Session, US CPI Tomorrow is the key release for the Week.
  • SUPPLY: Netherlands €2.5bn 10yr (Equates to 20.3k Bund), Germany €4bn Bobl 5yr (Equates to ~34.3k Bobl) could weigh given the lower liquidity in Futures. Focus this Week is on the US Demand, Today sees, the shorter end $58bn 3yr Notes.
  • SYNDICATION: ESM is expected Today, MNI expects E1-3bln, but no strong conviction on Maturity.
  • SPEAKERS: ECB Villeroy, Holzmann, Rehn.

  • SUP 3: $54.70 - 2.382 proj of the Feb 20 - Mar 5 - Apr 2 price swing
  • SUP 4: $54.00 - Round number support

Brent futures continue to appreciate. The latest round of gains has resulted in a break of  resistance at $65.39, the 50-day EMA. The continuation higher exposes $67.73 next, a Fibonacci retracement. It is still possible that the recovery since early May is a correction. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode position, highlighting a dominant medium-term downtrend. Support to watch lies at $62.09, the May 30 low. A break would be bearish.

A bullish condition in BTP futures remains intact and Monday’s fresh cycle high reinforces current conditions. Resistance and a bull trigger at 119.70, the Apr 24 high, has been cleared. This confirms a resumption of the uptrend and opens 121.65 next, a Fibonacci projection. Key support to watch lies at 118.51, the May 14 low. A clear break of this level would highlight a reversal. First support lies at 120.14, the 20-day EMA.
