HALISTER1: AUCTION PREVIEW: German 30Y Seen Supported by Yields Around 1%

AUCTION PREVIEW: German 30Y Seen Supported by Yields Around 1%

(Bloomberg) -- Germany to sell EU1b 2.5% 08/2046 bond at 11:30am CET. Analysts see recent rise in 30Y yields as supportive, though there’s some concern investor appetite may weaken ahead of upcoming FOMC decision.
  • Mizuho (Antoine Bouvet)
    • Yield of ~1% should attract outright demand; limited size of auction should allow market to easily absorb supply
    • 10s30s spread is correctly priced; In micro RV, spread vs old benchmark has been stable since end of March
  • Commerzbank (Benjamin Schroeder)
    • Selloff in EGBs, 10s30s steepening has pushed 30Y Bund yields above 1%
    • 10s30s steepening started to fade yday, even as yields rose; suggests stabilization as ultra-long supply from semi-core sector is increasingly cleared
  • DZ Bank (Hendrik Lodde)
    • Investor participation may be reduced ahead of the FOMC decision this evening; demand could be anemic, despite the recent run-up in yields
  • UniCredit (Edoardo Campanella)
    • Risks are skewed toward higher yields; ultra-long end may attract some interest due to the need for liability matching
    • Absolute level of barely above 1% looks strange given it implies a negative expected real rate over next three decades
