  • Short-dated expiries gain
  • New structured issues: KfW


    Short-dated expiries gain
    Short-dated expiries posted gains today with 1m pieces firming up to 3.5 normals after picking up two business days over the weekend. Meanwhile, 2m expiries now incorporate the FOMC March meeting and moved up to 1.5 normals higher.


    Farther out, longer-dated gamma drifted lower amid a lacklustre day in the underlying. The Bund future is finishing down by about 50 ticks while the 10y Bund yield is marked around 2.20% (+3bps). Earlier, the euro swap curve steepened up a touch after the EU announced it will tap its 30y bonds on Tuesday.

     

    Elsewhere, vega is down by up to 0.5 normals. After a slow start to the year, the number of callables hitting the screen has picked up pace in recent sessions. Among them, KfW has issued €100m 3y NC1 and €100m 10y NC1 (see details below).
