0557 GMT - Eurozone government bond yield spread widening Wednesday is likely to help the absorption of Spanish and French bond supply on Thursday, Commerzbank's Rainer Guntermann and Hauke Siemssen say in a note. Spain will auction 5 billion euros to 6 billion euros in 2029-, 2033- and 2056-dated bonds. France will offer 12 billion euros to 14 billion euros in nominal bonds, or OATs, and a further 1 billion euros to 1.5 billion euros in inflation-linked bonds. "However, the bulk of the OAT volume will come in medium-term tenors and yesterday's eurozone government bond spread widening has likely already made some space," the rates strategists say. "We therefore do not think that today's supply will lastingly weigh on markets." (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
