EGBs-GILTS CASH CLOSE: Dovish ECB/BoE Repricing Spurs Bull Steepening

BONDS
BulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsHomepage

Core FI reversed early losses to close Monday stronger, with Gilts outperforming Bunds.

  • In a quiet day for European data, central banker commentary continued to be the driving force in rates.
  • UK short-end yields fell further as last week's dovish BoE speak continued to be priced. Implied 2024 BoE cuts increased by 7bp to 59bp, the most since April 10.
  • While he is a noted dove, ECB's Centeno's comment Monday that easing this year could exceed 100bp helped implied 2024 ECB rate cuts rise 4bp on the day to 78bp.
  • Against this backdrop, both the German and UK curves bull steepened.
  • Periphery EGBs benefited from benign ratings announcements Friday as well as the softer central bank rate outlook, with BTP spreads compressing the most in 2 months despite an otherwise mixed backdrop.
  • Tuesday's scheduled highlight is the April round of flash PMIs, while we also get UK public finance data - which is likely to lead to an upward revision to the FY24/25 gilt remit (as we note in our Gilt Week Ahead).
