GILTS: Light Rally At Open
GILTS
Gilts catch up to the uptick in core global FI peers at the open, although early European selling in Bunds limits the move.
- Futures last +9 at 92.42.
- Bearish technical theme intact in the contract, initial support and resistance at 91.64/92.88.
- Yields ~3bp lower across the curve.
- 10s outperform Bunds by a couple of bp, spread back below 220bp, oscillating either side of that level in recent sessions.
- SONIA futures flat to +1.5, BoE-dated OIS still showing ~60bp of cuts through ’25, which looks shallow in our view (we have discussed this on several occasions in recent weeks).
- Little of note on the domestic calendar today, with lending and money supply data not usually a market mover.
- Greater focus will fall on the U.S. ISM m’fing survey.
