Gilt futures have gapped lower at today’s open. This has resulted in the contract trading below support at 97.23, the May 14 low. The breach of this level undermines a recent bullish theme. A continuation lower would signal scope for a move towards key support at 95.36, the Apr 25 low. On the upside, initial resistance is seen at 97.74, the 50-day EMA. A break of key resistance at 98.76, the May 16 high, is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
