SWAPS: German ASWs Little Changed

Apr-30 07:56

German ASWs seem fairly reluctant to rally despite the 1-4bp move lower in bond yields. Spreads vs. 3-month Euribor are little changed on the day.

  • A more stable risk backdrop, with tariff-related stress easing in recent weeks (despite the lack of any clear resolution and more a result of U.S. President Trump’s moderation in tone and altering of the tariff timetable) removes one leg of support for ASW wideners.
  • The prospect of a more dovish ECB, given the recent change in tone from several Governing Council members, as well as continued focus on the medium-term uptick in bond supply, could be providing 2 sources of structural pressure for spreads.
