HALISTER1: AUCTION PREVIEW: German 10Y Seen Offering Value Vs Longer Bonds

AUCTION PREVIEW: German 10Y Seen Offering Value Vs Longer Bonds

(Bloomberg) -- Germany to sell 0.5% 02/2026 for EU4b at 11:30am CET, with some analysts highlighting attractiveness vs bonds in 12Y-15Y sector.
  • ING (Martin van Vliet)
    • Absolute valuations “stretched”, 10Y benchmark looks attractive in Z-spread vs 12Y part of the German curve
    • Traded 40bps special in repo yesterday, suggests auction will get done at reasonable levels
  • Mizuho (Antoine Bouvet)
    • 10Y yields remain close to the bottom of recent range, continue to expect more gains given weak inflation, growth dynamics, bond scarcity
    • Bond is fairly priced in micro-RV; roll to 08/2025s ~7.1bps is near top of its range, which may seem attractive, but tends to cheapen into end of auction cycle, offers poor risk-reward
  • JPMorgan (Gianluca Salford)
    • 10Y benchmark has been cheapening vs off-the-run bund 08/2025, old-30Y 07/27; 10Y sector is ~2bps cheap 5s10s15s fly
  • Commerzbank (Michael Leister)
    • Auction should fail to produce spectacular metrics; bund swap spreads at the upper end of range, 10Y should catch up with richer bonds as it rolls down the curve in coming months
    • Cheapness seen in swap spread is even more pronounced vs longer-dated bunds, 07/2027 to 07/2034 close to 50bps through swaps
