GILTS: Off Early Session Highs
GILTS
Gilts have faded from early London highs.
- Futures last +17 at 97.07. Yesterday’s high (97.23) was not tested.
- Bulls need to retake the 20-day EMA (97.72) to negate some of the recent bearish pressure. Initial support is located at the July 1 low (96.57).
- Set up for the impending Bund supply factors into wider core global FI trade, as does the latest reduction in French political risk premium, capping the initial rally.
- A mark higher in the final domestic services PMI data failed to impact.
- Cash gilt yields are 1bp higher to 2.5bp lower across the curve, sticking within ranges seen since mid-March.
- 2s10s moves away from this week’s ’24 high, while 5s30s moves away from multi-month highs.
- BoE-dated OIS is little changed on the day, showing 13.5bp of cuts for August and ~42bp of easing through year end.
- SONIA futures -2.5 to +2.5.
- The UK calendar is limited for the remainder of the day, leaving focus on wider macro matters e.g. the ECB’s Sintra forum and U.S. data.
