GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: After reversing modest gains into the London/NY crossover, Gilts
rallied along with German Bunds and US Treasuries in London afternoon trade,
supported by softer than expected US PPI data. Tick higher in US wholesale data
though led to Gilts falling from session highs. 10-yr sector has outperformed
the rest of the yield curve.
- 2-yr Gilt yield is -0.4bp at 0.738%, 5-yr -1.3bp at 1.035%, 10-yr -2.2bp at
1.297%, 30-yr -0.7bp at 1.757% & 50-yr -0.8bp at 1.604% according to Tradeweb.
- Earlier this morning the Sep Gilt future looked to be influenced by the
movement in Sterling as the future rose steadily as the Pound dropped against
the US Dollar and the Euro on continued no-deal Brexit concerns. Sterling
recovered though and this led to the Gilt reversing gains.
- The future hit session low shortly before the release of US data and return of
sterling weakness which underpinned the recovery in Gilts.
- Short Sterling futures are steady to 2 ticks higher, strip touch flatter as
green and blue contracts outperform whites.
