GILTS: Goldman: Stay Short 10s Vs 2s And 30s
GILTS
Goldman note that “UK duration had another week of underperformance against peers.”
- They suggest that “the upcoming Autumn Statement and interest in the magnitude of increased capital spending resulting from a potential change in debt rule is a key focus for Gilts.”
- They go on to suggest that “by our estimates, term premium repricing has been the driver of the recent sell-off,” while also highlighting “the front-end outperformed its usual beta to the U.S. last week, as the ongoing dovish pivot in BoE communication strengthened conviction in a sequential cutting baseline.”
- “This underlines, in our view, the constructive outlook for gilts once the budget is cleared, and risk-premia can eventually fade.”
- Looking ahead, they continue to “expect the long- and front-end to outperform the belly, where any upside surprises to issuance is likely to be felt”. As a result, they continue to recommend long 2y and 30y gilts vs 10y on a butterfly.
