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.
