0656 GMT - Spain is set to use this week's calm supply window in the eurozone to launch a 30-year government bond via a syndicate of banks. Spain hired banks for the launch of the new October 2056-dated bond on Monday. The bond will add a new maturity point on the Spanish government bond curve, which is empty between the October 2054 and October 2064 maturities. Commerzbank rates strategists expect a deal size of 7 billion euros. The syndication transaction will come alongside Italy's 3.5 billion euro to 4.5 billion euro auction of the February 2028-dated BTP as well as August 2031- and May 2036-dated inflation-linked bonds, or BTPei.
