GILTS: Pulling Back Alongside Peers, Still Outperforming Post-Bailey
GILTS
Gilts also pull back given the weakness in wider core global FI markets, with U.S. data weighing during the NY morning.
- Futures never got anywhere near closing yesterday’s move lower and have traded as low as 98.15. Contract last +17 at 98.25.
- The bearish technical threat in the contract remains evident despite today’s shallow uptick, although the prospect of a swifter BoE rate cutting cycle could change things.
- Yesterday’s low (97.97) provides initial support, while bulls really need to overcome the Oct 1 high (99.47) to start turning the technical tide more in their favour.
- Yields 4.5bp lower to 1bp higher, curve twist steepens.
- 10s still 6bp tighter vs. Bunds after Bailey's dovish comments, reversing some of the recent widening which resulted in fresh '24 wides for the spread on Wednesday.
- Comments from BoE’s Pill due tomorrow, see recent STIR comment for greater colour on that event.
