GILTS: Futures Gap Lower At The Open; Feb 12 Low Intact For Now

GILTS

Gilt futures gap lower at the open, catching up with weakness in core EGBs and posting fresh session lows of 92.53 at typing (-77 ticks today).

  • Zooming out, a bull cycle is still in play and the pullback from the Feb 6 high appears corrective for now. The Feb 12 low at 92.31 remains intact, while firm resistance is the Feb 10 high at 93.71.
  • The cash curve has bear steepened, with yields 5-7bps higher. 10-year yields are up to 4.57%, just short of last Wednesday’s high of 4.58%. The 10-year Gilt/Bund spread has widened 1bp to 208bps.
