GILT AUCTION PREVIEW: 4.375% Mar-28 Gilt
GILT AUCTION PREVIEW
- The DMO will return to the market this morning to launch the new long 3-year 4.375% Mar-28 gilt for GBP4.0bln.
- The gilt replaces the 3.75% Mar-27 gilt as the on-the-run issue (which was launched in January).
- All eight auctions of the 3.75% Mar-27 gilt saw auction sizes of GBP3.75-4.00bln, bid-to-covers in excess of 3x (ranging from 3.01-3.68bp, 3.29x mean) but tails have been a bit more variable ranging from 0.3-0.6bp (0.6bp last).
- We see a similarly strong volume of demand at the launch today, but are again wary of a relatively wide tail.
- Timing: Results will be published shortly after the auction window closes at 10:00GMT with a further GBP1.0bln available to successful bidders via the PAOF.
