2-/5-/10-Year Fly In Middle Of Multi-Month Range, What Next?
GILTS
The 2-/5-/10-Year gilt butterfly has moved away from mid-June highs around -30bp, last printing around -40bp.
- Increased prospects of near-term BoE rate cuts and the immediate gilt issuance profile could promote further belly richening over the next couple of weeks.
- However, those inputs could soon become limiting factors for the fly.
- The mid-July round of 5- & 7-Year gilt issuance and some potential short-term limitations to the degree of dovish BoE repricing may mean that the structure struggles to test/break multi-months lows of -50bp in the near-term.
