EGBs-GILTS CASH CLOSE: Great Rate Debate Continues

BONDS

Tuesday's theme was reassessing Monday's hawkish BoE and ECB rate hike repricings.

  • The morning session saw a retracement higher in Short Sterling contracts (with yields in the Gilt curve short-end retreating), but this reversed over the course of the session.
  • Indeed, front Euribor contracts moved to post-2020 lows, until ECB Chief Econ Lane pushed back against market hike pricing, saying it was challenging to reconcile w ECB forward guidance.
  • While the long-end was not impacted, front Euribor jumped a few ticks and 2Y German yields fell 1.8bp following the comments.
  • Also Tuesday, 30-year gilt yields dropped as DMO said the 30-year green gilt syndication will not take place today but later in the week (MNI now sees it Thursday).
