GILTS: Holding Lower After CPI, BoE's Ramsden Due Later
GILTS
Intraday recoveries in gilts have proved fleeting so far, with futures to fresh session lows at 93.44 in recent trade.
- Feedthrough from the firmer-than-expected CPI data continues to be felt, while assessment of the future of the Russia-Ukraine conflict has regained greater prominence in recent days.
- Initial support in futures seen at the Friday/Monday double bottom (93.32/33), although Thursday’s low (92.97) provides more meaningful support.
- Yields now 4.5-5.5bp higher across the curve, with 10s testing 4.50%.
- Gilt/Bund spread out to ~213.5bp, a little over 3bp wider on the day and ~2bp off closing cycle wides (215.8bp).
- BoE-dated OIS pricing 1.0-4.5bp more hawkish on the day through Dec ’25, showing 62.5bp of cuts through the end of next year.
- Exact pricing levels shown in the table below.
- We still look for cuts in February & May, with more data needed to provide any real assessment of likely moves beyond those meetings.
- SONIA futures flat to -5.5, off session lows. November lows intact across the strip.
- Comments from BoE’s Ramsden due later today (16:00 London). He will speak on monetary policy.
