BONDS: Gilts Extend Recent Tightening Vs. Bunds

BONDS

  • This week’s UK data has helped promote the idea of a swifter BoE cutting cycle, albeit centred on ’25 given the Bank’s current reluctance to commit to further easing in the immediate term.
  • The SFIZ5/ERZ5 implied rate spread has narrowed by 12.5bp since the Aug 29 multi-month closing high.
  • Elsewhere, the UK’s fiscal trajectory under a Labour government continues to dominate discussions, with the party’s pro-growth election preferences already being challenged in the early stages of its term.
