Risk Appetite Stronger On German Bunds Yield Going Higher

German Bunds yield broke the monumental 3.09% level and was strongly rejected yesterday. That indicates a strong risk-willingness, which is also reflected by credit spreads and corporate CDS prices.




What's going on?

Theme Comment

·         The German constitutional court was saying that a Greek bail-out might violate the “no bail-out” clause in the EU rules and therefore be illegal. German Bunds yield broke the monumental 3.09% level and was strongly rejected yesterday. That indicates a strong risk-willingness, which is also reflected by credit spreads and corporate CDS prices.

·         Not a lot of data today, so a lot of focus on Greece and the EUR, which is likely to continue underperforming the rest of the European currencies. Gold not affected.

Comment

EURUSD

With spot still in narrow range, vols are more or less unchanged. Front end RR are flat, which signals

 

that the market does not know where spot is going.

EURCHF

Vols were paid up together with RR, after the comments from SNB. In the options market interest

 

were looking to buy middle of the curve downside eg. 3m strike 1,41 EUR put. Spot is likely to take

 

another move south soon.
