Gilt futures traded higher last week but the contract has pulled back from its recent highs. For bulls, a break of 98.76, the May 16 high, would confirm a resumption of the current uptrend and this would signal scope for a climb towards 99.19, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm support has been defined at 97.23, the May 14 low. Clearance of this level would instead be viewed as a bearish development.
