According to an IFR News report on Monday, the slope of the French government bond yield curve between the 2-year and 10-year maturities is flattening after adjusting for directionality.
Regression analysis based on three-month constant maturity yields shows that the French 10-year government bond is overvalued by 6.4 basis points relative to the beta-adjusted 2-year bond, which corresponds to 2 standard deviations.
From a trading logic perspective, this spread compression indicates that the market is pricing in limited further upside potential for long-term French rates, while pressure on the short end is relatively greater. Curve flattening often reflects investors digesting expectations of a mid-term economic slowdown or tighter monetary policy.
Combined with previous assessments that the Eurozone economy is "more vulnerable to energy price shocks," the flattening of the French curve may also imply that the market is becoming more cautious about betting on further rate hikes from the European Central Bank, and the long-term bond premium is being gradually squeezed out.
