    Bid across the grid
    Euro vols stayed bid today after German inflation printed higher-than-consensus and kept the pressure on euro rates. The 10y Bund yield climbed another 7bps to 2.72%, around 20bps higher so far this week.


    Elsewhere, the short-end of the curve took another hit with reds dropping up to 10bps and down 50bps since last Friday’s open. In the top left, 1y1y is up 5.8 normals today at 109.9 and 10 normals higher on the week.


    The right-hand side also posted gains with several pieces managing to keep up with gains in the top right. For instance, 3m10y is up 5.8 normals at 113.9 and 3m30y up 5.2 at 99.2.


    Finally, vega also saw a decent increase in implieds with 5y10y up 2.5 at 92.4 while further out 10y30y was up 1.3 at 65.0. “In percentage terms, vega has seen a reasonable move,” pointed out one dealer, “It’s probably a mix of the move in gamma and also the forwards adjusting,” he suggested.
