EGBs-GILTS CASH CLOSE: 10Y Gilts Touch Fresh Post-2019 High

BONDS

Gilts significantly underperformed Bunds Thursday, with bear steepening in the curve. Supply and rate hike reconsiderations were the session's themes.

  • France (E7.5bln) Spain (E5bln) and UK Green (GBP6bln) provided the supply, helping weigh on the space. Euribor and Short-Sterling futures weakened a few ticks after Wednesdays move higher.
  • Further down the curve, 10Y Gilt yields touched a fresh post-2019 high. 10s30s flattening in Germany was notable (that segment now at the flattest since the pandemic started in March 2020).
  • Periphery spreads saw little change.
