Bund 5s30s Trims ECB Fueled Widening Against 163-167bps Hurdle

(Bloomberg) -- Stepening in German 5/30s curve fades in its initial test near 163-167bps, comprising the steepest points seen in 2015, Bloomberg technical analyst Sejul Gokal writes.
  • See chart here; spread at 150bps vs 161bps wide
  • German 5s30s widens by as much as 24bp -- after Draghi said ECB purchases can include assets yielding below the depo rate floor, a category that includes most of the euro-zone curve maturing within 5 years.
