EU RATES OUTLOOK: Duration Supply Set to Increase Next Week

(Bloomberg) -- Auction supply next week is set to jump, topping EU18b with a large amount of duration to come due to long-dated sales from France and Spain. The supply is offset with EU19b in redemptions from Germany (old 10y bund.)
  • Potential for quiet start to the week, with cash Treasuries closed on Tuesday due to U.S. holiday, which may result in limited participation
  • U.S. employment report is the highlight on the data front. In the U.K., Services PMI data for June on Wednesday
  • Another busy week of ECB speakers, with Weidmann (hawk) and Mersch (leaning hawk) due to speak over the weekend. Praet (dove) and Nowotny (middle) due on Tuesday; Praet, Nowotny and Weidmann all appear again on Thursday
  • In addition to govt supply, EFSF sent a RfP to banks for a potential deal this week; these issues tend to weigh on the market into pricing
  • SUPPLY/REDEMPTIONS: Auction supply may total EU18.9b, equivalent to around EU22m/bp or 150k bund futures in risk terms
