A bear threat in Gilt futures remains present and the contract traded lower Monday but has since recovered. Sights are on the key short-term support at 98.05, the Mar 15 low. A clear break of this level would strengthen a bearish theme and signal scope for an extension towards 97.67, a Fibonacci retracement. On the upside, key resistance and the bull trigger is unchanged at 100.37, Mar 12 high. Initial resistance is 99.37, the Apr 4 high.
