Street views post ECB Citi: If there are times when skipping a meeting (and a press conference) would make sense, then this was it. There was nothing new for the ECB to communicate, and the introductory statement is essentially a carbon copy of the one presented in March. Hopefully, 10 June will be different, with new forecasts and a likely decision about the pace of PEPP during 3Q-21. We continue to wait for an explanation […] Read More

For the £/Gilt jockeys: Prior to this morning’s gilt open we get the revised Remit this morning at 7.30am London – RBC forecasts a £26bn reduction in gilt sales for the current fiscal year. – BoAML: , the risk of FY 2021-22 Gilt issuance reduction is considerable, perhaps somewhat underappreciated by the market and likely supportive of Gilts on asset swap (ASW). Conversely, BoA are not so worried about the Asset Purchase Facility (APF) pace […] Read More

Month end extensions Gilts: +0.04 US Tsy: +0.08 EGBs: +0.17 Fourth consecutive month of gilt duration extension. Increased long-end issuance and syndication of the new 30y benchmark in the end of month are the main reasons. US extension is pretty typical for a non-refunding month. It compares with +0.13y last April (we had an alteration of the dropping rule for the bonds with maturity less than a year) Very strong duration extension for EGBs and […] Read More

ECB Street Preview Citi: expect policy to be left unch; ECB is under far less market pressure than in March; any discussion on purchase pace is likely to be brief, with the ECB only due to review the decision quarterly; the ‘significant increase’ could last just one quarter if mkt conditions remain stable and vaccine progress continues; see ample space to keep a higher pace for longer Commerzbank: expect policy to be left unch; the […] Read More

Jarvo’s At it :::: CHRIS JARVIS: A common theme that keeps popping up amongst bank strategy desks is comparing the recent move in US real yields to the taper tantrum. Consensus would argue that a large part of that move to higher reals is behind us – this seems to be neglecting some key pieces of information. A lot of the aforementioned analysis overlooks the main driver of higher US reals/lower breakevens during the 2013/4 […] Read More

INFLATION WATCH: US PMI comment: “input prices rose markedly. The rate of cost inflation was the steepest since March 2011, with firms stating that supply shortages and transportation delays often drove prices up and led to additional fees. Firms were, however, able to pass on part of the hike in costs to clients, as selling price inflation accelerated to a fresh series peak. The rate of increase quickened for the fifth successive month.” … and […] Read More

Oil {CL1 Comdty} continues to struggle. It appears especially fragile whilst occurring in combination with re-emerging dollar strength and compounded by Citi EM Macro risk index MRIEM Index GP <GO> climbing higher indicative of EM outflows in to USD. Feels like this move still has room to run particularly from the USD strength angle. I like the below Tweet from earlier in the week by Alex Harbouche summarising the sharp $10 drop “CL dropped by […] Read More
