0.25% Jul-31

GILT AUCTION PREVIEW
  • Tomorrow, the DMO will look to reopen the 0.25% Jul-31 gilt for the final time ahead of the launch of the new 10-year gilt next month (the Jan-32 gilt).
  • The auction size of GBP2.25bln is the smallest auction of the 0.25% Jul-31 gilt to date.
  • Between February and August the monthly auctions were all sized at GBP2.75bln while the September auction was sized at GBP2.50bln.
  • Despite this, September saw the lowest bid-to-cover since the launch auction (2.52x) and saw a slightly wider tail of 0.2bp (the previous five auctions had seen 0.1bp tails).
  • This was still a solid auction and we expect another decent auction this week.
  • Timing: Results will be available shortly after the auction closes at 10:00BST with a further GBP562.5mln available to successful bidders through the PAOF.
