GILTS: Gilt/Bund Spread Threatens Clean Break Above ’24 Highs
GILTS
Gilt/Bunds threatening a clean break above cycle closing highs, last 215.9bp.
- Fresh extension higher would switch focus to the mini-Budget ’22 closing high of 227.5bp.
- Recent widening promoted by downbeat European data flow and pricing of more forceful ECB easing vs. the BoE’s gradualist approach and stickier inflation outlook in the UK.
- UK fiscal policy also a factor, as are relative betas to U.S. Tsys.
