Lower With Tsys

GILTS

As noted in an earlier Treasury bullet, fresh selling in U.S. bonds weighed on gilts, allowing futures to move to fresh session lows of 97.60.

  • Little in the way of headline drivers apparent at the time, leaving most to point to a mix of cross-asset spill over and swelling $IG issuance.
  • Key support at 97.23 remains some way off, leaving the bullish technical backdrop in play for the contract. A breach of that level would be damaging to the bullish picture.
  • Gilt yields are 3-4bp higher across the curve, with a light bear steepening bias.
  • 2s10s and 5s30s curves stick comfortably within their recent ranges.
  • UK headline flow remains muted.
