Gilts 2-/10-Year Curve Still Less Inverted Than Major Counterparts

BONDS

We have already highlighted yesterday’s move to fresh recent extremes when it comes to the level of inversion witnessed in the 2-/10-Year spread on the Gilt curve, as the pricing of higher for longer BoE interest rates reverberated in the wake of the latest UK labour market report. Still, the move leaves the degree of inversion witnessed on the spread a little above that seen in on the German curve, while the U.S. equivalent is almost ~40bp more inverted than what is seen on the UK curve. The degree of active QT from the BoE may have limited the degree of inversion in recent times and it will be interesting to see how this dynamic evolves in the coming months.
