The trend needle in Gilt futures continues to point south. The contract last week cleared support at 99.60, the Jan 5 low. This reinforced a bearish theme and confirmed a resumption of the downtrend that started Dec 27. The contract has also traded through 97.97, Dec 6 high, signalling scope for an extension towards 97.39, the Dec 11 low. Firm resistance to watch is 99.83, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of the average would ease bearish pressure.
