1406 GMT - Natixis initiates a trade that anticipates a further narrowing in the spread between yields on two-year U.S. Treasurys and those on the two-year German Schatz. Diverging U.S. and eurozone monetary-policy paths continue to drive relative-value opportunities in short-dated bonds, says Natixis' Eya Chammakhi in a note. Natixis expects U.S. front-end yields to decline towards 3.10% by the first quarter of 2026--from 3.468% currently--, while the two-year German Schatz yield should remain around 1.90%-2.00%, the rates strategist says. Natixis enters the trade at a 155 basis-point spread--where it trades currently, according to Tradeweb--, targeting 135 basis points in three months, with a stop at 165 basis points.
