DMO Consultation: Longs

GILTS
  • Syndication: Investors were split between 2046 or 2051 but there was more support for a 2046 maturity. GEMMs also were split between 2046 or 2051 but noted "the absence of any current coupon bonds in the 25-year maturity area of the curve."
  • GEMMs advocated openings of the 1.25% Oct-41, the 0.625% Oct-50, 1.625% Oct-54, 0.50% Oct-61 and 1.625% Oct-71. They also noted that a syndication of a new gilt in 2051 "need not preclude further auctions" of the 0.625% Oct-50 gilt. GEMMs also noted that "there was sufficient demand and richness in the ultra-long sector to justify two or more auctions of the longest gilts." Investors also mentioned the 1.25% Oct-41, 0.625% Oct-50 and 1.625% Oct-54 gilts and noted that "with a lower duration... syndication... this should be balanced by some supply of higher duration gilts via auction."
  • Of the 10 auctions in Jan-Mar we now look for three auctions of the 1.25% Oct-41 gilt, two auctions of the 0.50% Oct-61 gilt and one auction each of the 1.625% Oct-54 and the 1.625% Oct-71 gilts. We also expect a total of three auctions split between the 0.50% Oct-50 and reopenings of the new 25-30 year gilt.
