Gilt futures continue to weaken. Yesterday’s break lower marked an acceleration of the bear cycle. The contract has cleared support at 99.73, the Apr 19 low, and 99.20, the Feb 28 low and a key support level. Note that price has also traded through the late Dec 2022 lows. This confirms a resumption of the downtrend and signals scope for weakness towards 97.95 next, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm resistance is 99.73.
