Gilt futures traded higher Monday and price remains above last week’s low of 102.74 (Mar 31). However, a short-term bearish threat is present - last week’s move down resulted in a break of support at the 20-day EMA which intersects at 103.82. A clear break of the EMA would signal scope for a continuation lower towards 102.31 next, a Fibonacci retracement. On the upside, initial resistance is seen at 105.04, a Fibonacci retracement.
