GILTS: Wider As Citi Provide Fiscal Warning, Technical Levels Probed
GILTS
Gilts widen vs. core global FI peers after Citi’s (caveated) warning surrounding market spill over from funding a potential increase in public investment.
- Futures probed initial support at Tuesday’s low (96.20), but only manage a modest breach, basing at 96.19. Last 96.28.
- An extension lower would allow the bearish impulse to strengthen further, targeting round number support at 96.00.
- Cash 10s topped out at 4.225% vs. Tuesday’s high of 4.221%.
- An extension would target the July 1 high (4.286%).
- 10s widen by a little over 2bp vs. Bunds, back towards 195bp. This week’s closing cycle high (195.24bp) is less than 1bp away.
- GBP STIRs see hawkish adjustments alongside the weakness in gilts.
- 21bp of cuts priced for November, 34bp of cuts priced through December and 91bp of cuts priced through June.
- That compares to 22bp, 35bp and 94bp late Wednesday.
- SONIA futures 1.0-4.0 lower.
- Most contracts through SFIH6 register fresh multi-week/month lows.
- Fiscal speculation will continue to dominate today, with no tier 1 UK releases scheduled.
