0.125% Mar-51 linker

GILT AUCTION PREVIEW
  • The recently launched 30-year linker will be reopened for the first time tomorrow with GBP600mln nominal on offer.
  • The syndicated launch on 9 February saw GBP2.25bln sold with books of GBP20.9bln, highlighting the strong pent-up demand following the conclusion of the RPI review.
  • This is the first index-linked auction of the fiscal year. The last linker auction of 2020/21 saw a smaller auction of GBP350mln of the 0.125% Nov-56 linker with a bid-to-cover of 2.17x.
  • Tomorrow's auction will probably be followed even more closely after the recent press reports that some pension funds have started legal action against the withdrawal of the RPI calculation in 2031.
  • Timing: Results will be available shortly after the auction closes at 15:00BST.
