                Looking at what happens to Btp 10yrs when they go off the run….

Here is bond roll history  (in bp per yr of maturity difference)

All of it centred around the x=0 being the point at which the longer of the bond pair goes off the run ( a new one comes out)

Conclusion – times is tough
Dec30/Aug30 cramped in before and after Dec30 went off the run – but the last three Btp 10y rolls are ambivalent and it seems on e0just has to pick a value point

Wanna see this for any other issuer or tenor? – let me know

                Why don't trades turn like they used to….

Looking at German 30y vs old German 30y

                Here is a history of the OIS spread between the German 30y bond and its predecessor in bp / yr

                The zero point is when the longer of the two goes off the run and a new issue is launched

                So to us, dbr 48s into dbr 50s which has steepened of late, is a decent trade @ +3bp / year vs OIS – currently it is +2.65bp per year

                so we need another 0.35 X 2 bp – if it gets there I like this trade – tap tomorrow then we get a new Dbr 2052 bond in Sep

                Germany Roll vs OIS in bp/ yr = x=0 is the point at which the longer issue goes off the run

                Yellow line for current value at +2.65 bp / yr

• This analysis is available on all Euro Sovereign issuers if you wish to see how new issue discounts are performing vs historical predecessors. The half lifes and timing points are moving and this is effecting the expected returns

                Bloomberg history of OIS spread – 48s/50s

In brief – just some pictures – the thought process is that actually EGB issues are not going bid until they get to the end of their tap cycle and sometimes beyond

Let us know which particular issuers and tenors you'd like to see…

The Data on the graph is centred such that T=0 is the point at which the issue goes off the run (a newer issue has its first supply event)

German 10y

Italy 10y

As per our conversation here's a Beta sheet for looking at anomalies in Italy – with the addition of using cash-flow discounting in the model (option 2)

All you need to do is toggle cell U57 between
1 = Yield Model
2= Cash Flow model

Please treat it with the usual disclaimers as it's a Beta version at the moment

It explains why the high coupon longer bonds seem to trade so rich in yield – they are still cheap using cash flow discounting method (which I hacked from the spline feed and the exponential spline field)

This is a proprietary model as such, so treat with caution but it probably better explains my thought process

If you find a trade that looks good with cell U57 =1 AND U57 = 2 then you're probably onto a winner!!!!
