HALISTER1: Citi Recommends FV Swap Spread Tightener Into Labor Day

Citi Recommends FV Swap Spread Tightener Into Labor Day

(Bloomberg) -- FV spread vs Libor is likely to tighten between mid-August and Labor Day in anticipation of surge in corporate supply after the U.S. holiday, Citi strategist Ruslan Bikbov says in note.
  • Over past five years, spread has tightened by a median 8bp over the time frame
    • Recommendation: sell 2,598 FVU7, receive 300m USD matched-maturity Libor swaps at 9.4bp (DV01 $123k); target 1.4bp, stop-loss at 15.4bp
    • Main risk to trade is increasing demand for USTs from reserve managers
