GILT AUCTION PREVIEW
  • Issuance will kick off for the week today with GBP3.25bln of the 0.125% Jan-23 gilt on offer.

  • Demand for the gilt in auctions has been gradually falling since launch with GBP9.9bln of bids for the launch but GBP7.6bln of bids at the last auction.

  • The 0.125% Jan-23 gilt continues to trade at a discount to its peers with yields on the 0.125% Jan-23 gilt 3.2bp higher than the 1.75% Sep-22 gilt and 5.7bp higher than the 0.75% Jul-23 gilt.
  • The 0.125% Jan-23 gilt is scheduled to be auctioned again on 10 September and 1 October before the new Jan-24 gilt is launched on 6 October.
