4.125% Jan-27

GILT AUCTION PREVIEW
  • The DMO will return to the market this morning to sell GBP3.75bln of the 4.125% Jan-27 gilt.
  • This will be the eighth auction of the gilt since it was launched in October as a short 5-year gilt.
  • Demand has been fairly consistent with bid-to-covers ranging from 2.08x (at launch) to 2.46x. The 2.46x was seen at the last auction four weeks ago despite this being the first auction that was for GBP3.75bln (with all other auctions being for GBP3.50bln or GBP3.25bln).
  • Tails have also been relatively consistent, ranging from 0.4-0.8bp (with 0.5bp seen at the last two auctions).
  • We note that in the FQ2 period (July to September), the DMO outlined its intentions for three out of the four short-dated gilt auctions but did not mention the 4.125% Jan-27 gilt. With over GBP31bln to be outstanding after today's auction, that this could be the last auction of the 4.125% Jan-27 gilt for some time.
  • Timing: Results will be available shortly after the auction closes at 10:00BST with a further GBP937.5mln available to successful bidders through the PAOF.
