Bull flattening

GILTS

The gilt curve is bull flattening today, with the move largely being seen in a flattening of the 5s20s curve with a parallel shifter further out.

  • This is largely just retracing some of the moves seen yesterday which were larger than those seen in Bunds or gilts (hence the outperformance of gilts today).
  • The political undertone has not really been moving markets - Prime Minister Johnson continues to have the cloud of the "party" during lockdown hanging over his head.
