GILTS: Fresh Support Following North American Data, CPI Now Eyed

GILTS

Futures to fresh session highs of 96.80 following the North American data covered earlier, but initial resistance at the Oct 7 high (96.93) remains untouched.

  • Yields 3-7bp lower across the curve, bull flattening noted all day.
  • BoE-dated OIS shows 22bp of cuts for November, 35bp of easing through December (~40% odds of back-to-back 25bp cuts to end the year) and 103bp of cuts through June, little changed to ~5bp more dovish on the day through the liquid contracts.
  • SONIA futures -0.5 to +6.5, with many of the contracts registering fresh session highs alongside gilts.
  • Multi-week ranges remain intact in GBP STIRs, with today’s move merely fading a little of the hawkish repricing seen since the latest U.S. NFP release.
  • Domestic focus is on tomorrow’s CPI data, which is set to be more consequential for monetary policy than today’s labour market readings.
  • The MPC will watch the data closely - particularly following Governor Bailey’s comments noting that the BoE could be “a bit more activist” if the good news surrounding inflation continues.
