(Bloomberg) -- Investors should go long on low-coupon Italian bonds as first round of French presidential election draws near, UniCredit strategist Elia Lattuga writes in note.
- Suggests buying BTP 1.65% March 2032, 2.45% September 2033 and 2.25% September 2036 over high-coupon BTPs with similar maturities
- With the French election less than a week away, “sovereign credit spreads have backed away from recent highs but are still reflecting lingering risk,” he writes
- “The high-low coupon trade on extra-long BTPs has proven to be a reasonable hedge against swings in the OAT-bund spread over the recent past”
- NOTE: Twice-Bitten Traders Take No Chances With French Election Risk
