GILTS
Gilts have looked to wider macro drivers (European inflation data and slightly lower energy commodity prices) on Monday.
- Futures trade as high as 96.53 on the day but are still some way shy of key resistance areas flagged earlier, leaving the well-defined bearish technical backdrop in play.
- Cash gilt yields are 3.0-4.5bp lower, with the front end outperforming on the session.
- The medium-term gilt sale from the BoE’s APF was easily absorbed.
- GBP STIR movements are detailed in our recent STIR bullet.
- Lower tier UK survey, credit and money supply data are due tomorrow, along with the GBP4.0bn launch of the new 5-year 4.125% Jul-29 gilt.
