EGBS: BTP Syndication Announcmeent Weighs

Oct-21 12:36

Supply-induced weakness in BTPs weighs on EGBs on the whole.

  • The uptick in energy prices also extended a little further (before stalling), providing further background pressure.
  • Bund bears probe support at the Oct 15 low (133.30), but only force a shallow break (133.29 low).
  • A meaningful breach would expose key support/the bear trigger at the Oct 10 low (132.75).
  • German yields 5-9bp higher, steepening.
  • Extension to the German swap spread tightening flagged earlier during the move, fresh cycle lows seen again.
  • Spreads to Bunds wider across EGBs.
  • BTP/Bund spread sees the biggest swing (+3.5bp), with equities still lower on the day and the syndication announcement (covered in detail in previous bullets) adding further pressure. BTP/Bunds back above 120bp after the recent foray below.
