GILTS: Short 20-Year Supply Expected to Go Smoothly

GILTS

The result of the DMO’s first auction of the new fiscal quarter is due shortly, with GBP2.25bln nominal of the short 20-year 4.75% Oct-43 gilt on offer

  • No real signs of intraday pre-auction concession for 20s on the 10-/20-/30-Year gilt fly, although last week saw 20s hit the cheapest closing level since February on that structure.
  • Elsewhere, Gilts hit fresh cycle closing cheaps vs. swaps on Monday.
  • In terms of the auction history, the gilt was launched via syndication in November 2023 and has been reopened twice per quarter via auction since which auction sizes ranging from GBP2.00-2.25bln.
  • Every auction has seen strong demand with bid-to-covers ranging from 3.29-3.67x and tails ranging from 0.1-0.4bp.
  • We expect another strong auction this time out.
  • The line will be auctioned again on on 12 November.
