GILTS: Back From Highs, Still Outperforming
GILTS
Gilts have moved away from session highs alongside global peers, although still outperform, narrowing by 2bp vs. Bunds & 3bp vs. Tsys at the 10-Year point.
- Media reports pointing to more modest adjustments to UK fiscal policy promote outperformance for gilts today.
- We provided greater colour on the apparent watering down of some of the more controversial fiscal measures earlier.
- TD Securities have recommended a tactical 10-Year gilt/Bund narrower into the Budget (October 30), looking to fade the recent sharp widening.
- Futures 96.72 last vs. highs of 96.91.
- Bulls need to breach the Oct 7 high & Sep 2 low (96.93/98.11) to start turning the tide in their favour, with the bearish technical picture remaining intact.
- Yields 1bp lower to 0.5bp higher, curve twist steepens.
