GILTS: Holding Onto Most Of Early Rally, BoE's Pill Due Later

GILTS

Gilts hold onto the bulk of the rally triggered by late Thursday demand in Tsys and risk-off trade surrounding Chinese fiscal policy.

  • Futures +46 at 93.97 vs. highs of 94.21.
  • Initial resistance at the November 1 high (94.73) is untested, with the bearish technical theme still in play.
  • Yields 3.0-4.5bp lower across the curve.
  • 10- to 30-Year zone outperforms wings.
  • Spreads to Bunds little changed at ~206bp, following yesterday’s sharp narrowing off cycle highs (which was mostly driven by the German leg).
  • BoE-dated OIS shows 4bp of cuts for December, 22bp of easing through February, 31bp through March and 47bp through May, little changed vs. pre-gilt open levels, pointing to quarterly cuts in the immediate term.
  • SONIA futures -1.5 to +7.0, easing from session highs as the bid in gilts moderates a little.
  • BoE chief economist Pill will speak later today (12:15 London), giving a briefing on the latest monetary policy decision.
