    Right-side leads amid risk-off
    Today’s risk-off backdrop has supported the Bund and seen equities trade lower following the Fitch credit downgrade of the US. The underlying risk aversion has resulted in the vol surface shifting towards the right, with intermediate and longer tails firming relative to the left-hand side.


     
    The right “continues to perform well” with “risk-off rather than steepening” pushing today’s move higher, according to a dealer. Still, he noted that while 2s/10s steepening may have stalled, the longer-end of the swap curve has seen 10s/30s continue to edge higher.
     

    As a result, 3m expiries in the top right were last 1.2 to 2.3 normals higher on the day. For instance, 3m30y is finishing up 2.3 at 82.7nvol and has gained around 6 normals this week.
     

    In vega, longer-dated expiries are also continuing to post gains, such as 5y30y up 0.4 at 74.4nvol having been marked as low as 73.5nvol intra-day towards the end of last week.
