GILT AUCTION PREVIEW: 1.125% Sep-35 linker

GILT AUCTION PREVIEW
  • The DMO will kick off issuance for the week this morning by launching the new 10-year 1.125% Sep-35 linker for GBP1.5bln.
  • This will replace the 0.75% Nov-33 linker as the on-the-run 10-year issue.
  • Auctions for that linker were strong with the lowest bid-to-cover in the five auctions so far this fiscal year at 2.89x (with a mean of 3.16x and 3.39x seen in the last auction in December).
  • All of these auctions have been for GBP1.5bln nominal. We expect another strong linker auction. The 1.125% Sep-35 linker is due to be reopened on 25 February.
  • Timing: Results will be available shortly after the bidding window closes at 10:00GMT with a further GBP375mln available to successful bidders via the PAOF.
