EGBs-GILTS CASH CLOSE: Gilts Lead Rout

Gilts led a global core FI rout Tuesday, with UK yields rising 8-9bp across the curve.

• The Gilt sell-off was not due to a single factor: partly in anticipation of Wednesday's CPI release, and partly on prelim May services PMI which slipped to a 2-month low but held hawkish details.
• Terminal BoE pricing rose as much as 13bp to 5.13%, before fading.
• Weakness in the German curve was relatively tame, with yields up 0-1bp. Like the UK's PMI report, Eurozone manufacturing came in weak, but services were probably too strong for the ECB's comfort.
• Eurozone central bank speakers had little impact: BoE's Bailey had little new to say, while the largest mover was Monday's hawkish-leaning after hours comments by ECB's de Cos who said there was still a way to go on rate hikes.
• Following Monday's strong rally led by Greece, periphery spreads were mixed/unchanged.
• UK inflation leads Wednesday's docket, but we also get German IFO, Bund and Gilt supply, and appearances by Bailey and ECB's Lagarde.
