Spanish Government Bonds Gain Appeal Over French Peers, HSBC Says -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-14 23:40

1538 GMT - HSBC prefers Spanish government bonds over their French peers, rates strategist Chris Attfield says. There are currently political risks for French bonds given the country's minority government, while prospects of heavy supply in 2025 also make them less attractive, he says. Meanwhile, the banks switches to a neutral stance on Spanish and French bond yield spreads versus German Bunds, in recognition of the relative stability of both spreads, he says. The 10-year Spanish-German yield spread is around 71 basis points, while the 10-year French-German yield spread is around 74 basis points, both down 2 basis points, according to Tradeweb.
