German Bank: Second wave of Eurozone bond syndication expected to arrive in February.

Rainer Guntermann of Deutsche Bank in a report stated that the first wave of Eurozone government bond syndications has ended, with focus now shifting to the second wave, which typically begins in early February. The interest rate strategist indicated that based on historical patterns, Italy, Spain, or Belgium could potentially be candidates in the coming weeks. Historically, Eurozone sovereign countries conduct a significant amount of government bond syndication transactions when initiating their annual financing plans at the beginning of the year. In January, countries that engaged in syndicate transactions included Slovenia, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Ireland, France, Lithuania, Spain, Austria, Cyprus, Finland, and Germany.
