With today's successful Italian 2-year bond auctions, which saw bid-to-cover ratios of 2.70 for the EUR 500 million issue (avg. yield: 3.2%) and 1.71 for the 4.5 billion issue (avg. yield: 3.763%), safely behind us and only some UK and US auctions left for tomorrow it is time to look towards next week's auctions.
Italy gets the week going on Monday at 10:00 (GMT) with 4, 5, 9 and 10-year auctions followed by France at 14:00; later in the week (Friday) France is at it again at 10:00. Germany joins the action on Wednesday with a 10-year auction at 10:15 while Spain is off the agenda the entire week.
