GILTS: Lagging Bunds
GILTS
Gilts underperform EGBs, with the initial uptick sold into.
- Futures peaked at 95.71, faded to 95.53, before recovering to ~95.65 last.
- Yields 0.5-1.5bp lower across the curve, light bull steepening.
- 10s register the lowest level seen since October 28, 4.285%.
- 10s spread to Bunds 1bp wider at 214.5bp, ~2bp off recent closing cycle highs.
- SONIA futures still around pre-gilt open levels, last flat to +3.0.
- Little of note on the UK calendar today, which will leave most of the focus on spillover from European data (national CPI readings), ECB speak and French fiscal/political matters.
- A reminder that the U.S. will observe the Thanksgiving holiday today, thinning out broader market liquidity.
