A Touch Firmer Alongside Peers, Supply & Mann Eyed
GILTS
Futures edge higher early today but stick to a narrow 16-tick range, last +14 at 99.43.
- Monday’s late move away from lows in both Bund and Tsy futures filters in.
- Cash gilt yields are little changed to 1bp lower.
- SONIA futures and BoE-dated OIS are roughly in line with pre-gilt open levels, covered earlier.
- Former BoE hawkish dissenter Mann will be interviewed by BBG at 09:00 London.
- Participants will be looking for more information re: the reasoning for her vote change (to no change in rates, in line with the MPC consensus). Monday saw Mann note that she had stated that her vote was “finely balanced” ahead of the March MPC, with no further details/thoughts provided.
- No meaningful local data releases are scheduled today.
- On the supply front, this morning will see the DMO come to market with GBP3.0bn of the 4.50% Jun-28 gilt.
