9th Oct - EU Open: Sell-Off


Strange and "no news" drop in EURUSD and stock index futures down as well. tweeted Euro falling.. some idiot or computer looking at germany/spain spreads seeing 36bp wider not realising benchmark bonds changed?

Saxo's FX dealer said: Loads of speculation doing the rounds at the moment. Spain disagreeing with bailout terms, Greek creditors not able to agree on repayments, European CB selling are the most popular explanations right now. What is real is the quite hefty pop in German bunds. Also, Spanish 10y yields seem to trade ard. 30 bp higher. However, take the latest reason with a pinch of salt as there is talk that yesterday BBG has changed the benchmark for it's Spanish 10y generic yield.



@GlobalMacroZen: Bloomberg (by mistake) changed overnight its 10yr Spanish benchmark to the jan24, which is an 15yr off-the-run. This leads to an unreal showing of 30bps widening in the day for the 10yr sector.Just disregard it. Spanish 10yr benchmark is 4 wider
