0.875% Jan-46 Gilt

GILT AUCTION PREVIEW
  • Following the tap of the 0.25% Jul-31 gilt earlier in the day, the DMO will return to auction GBP2bn of the 0.875% Jan-46 gilt.
  • At the last tap of the 0.875% Jan-46 gilt on April 7, GBP2.0bn was sold at an average yield of 1.332%, bid-to-cover of 2.54x and a tail of 0.3bp.
  • The pressure on the long end of the gilt curve has appeared to stabilize in recent months following the sell off over January-February. However, with considerable progress made on vaccinations, lockdown restrictions gradually easing, and speculation about BoE tapering, the recent calm may prove fleeting.
  • TIMING: Results are due out shortly after the auction closes at 1130BST.
