BONDS: EGBs-GILTS CASH CLOSE: Bellies Underperform As Cuts Get Priced Out

BONDS
BulletMarketsFixed Income Bullets

European yields continued to rise Monday, with Gilts underperforming Bunds as curve bellies underperformed in both the UK and Germany.

  • Multiple factors weighed on global FI, from higher oil prices to follow-through from Friday's surprisingly strong US employment data.
  • Eurozone retail sales were largely in line, while German headline factory orders delivered a downside surprise.
  • ECB's Kazaks told MNI that he supported an October rate cut. While that outcome remains over 90% priced, easing through mid-2025 pared back to ~125bp cumulative from ~130 prior and ~147bp at Thursday's close.
  • Similarly while Nov BoE cut pricing remains >90%, cumulative priced cuts through June 2025 now stand at 94bp, vs ~100bp Friday and over 120bp end-Thursday.
  • Gilt underperformance saw the widest 10Y spread to Bunds in over a year. Gilts appeared to be additionally pressured in the session by soft demand at the long-dated BoE APF sale, as well as media concern over government borrowing prospects.
  • Periphery EGB spreads widened throughout the session on less dovish ECB pricing.
  • Tuesday's agenda includes the German IP release along with multiple ECB speakers including Nagel and Centeno.
