GILTS: Weaken Alongside Core FI, Curve Bear Steepens
GILTS
Gilts sit weaker on the day despite gapping higher at the open as UK markets returned from the long weekend. The stronger-than-expected US consumer confidence reading has provided the latest source of pressure to global core FI markets.
- Gilt futures have stabilised above Friday’s low of 96.60, currently -23 at 96.68. Futures nonetheless remain some ~60 ticks off intraday highs.
- Domestic headline flow has been limited. The stronger-than-expected CBI distributive trades data this morning was not a market mover.
- The Gilt curve now trades bear steeper, with yields flat to 3bps higher.
- BoE implied rates have moved higher alongside yields, with BoE-dated OIS now showing 32bps of cuts through the remainder of this year (vs ~35bps this morning).
- Tomorrow sees the DMO come to the market with 15-year linker supply, with the domestic calendar otherwise very light.
