Futures Probe 97.00

GILTS

Gilts push through yesterday’s highs, with the impact of yesterday’s 10-Year Tsy auction and less worry in EGB spreads noted early today.

  • The rally stalls at 97.00, with next meaningful resistance level located at the June 4 high (97.86) after Monday’s opening gap lower was closed.
  • Some will look to pre-NFP levels as an intermediate resistance.
  • The recent recovery from key support at the May 29 low (95.33) is still deemed corrective at this stage.
  • Cash gilt yields are ~2bp lower across the curve.
  • The incrementally firmer-than-expected UK monthly GDP reading had little tangible impact.
  • We noted that there will be little policy impact from the data, with next week's CPI print much more important for the BoE.
  • GBP900mn of 0.625% Mar-45 I/L gilt supply is due today.
  • Broader macro focus is set to fall on the U.S. CPI release and FOMC decision.
