Financial text on French consumer confidence...

Après une légère correction en tout début d’année, la courbe obligataire EUR a repris sa tendance à l’aplatissement, et le mouvement est particulièrement sensible sur la partie longue. En moins d’une semaine, le spread 10/30ans swap s’est resserré de 7pb, alors que le coût d’une position au flattening sur ce segment n’était que légèrement supérieur à 0.8pb par mois. Idem sur le 5/10ans, où l’aplatissement a été de 6pb pour un coût tout juste supérieur à 0.5pb par mois. Les opportunités de jouer le mouvement après la correction étaient donc importantes.
