UK
BOE: The Bank of England is likely to delay the sale of billions of pounds of government bonds in a bid to foster greater stability in gilt markets following the UK’s failed “mini” Budget. The bank had already delayed the start of its sale of £838bn of gilts bought under its quantitative easing programme from October 6 to the end of this month. It is now expected to bow to investor pressure for a further pause until the market becomes calmer. The Financial Times has learnt that the bank’s top officials have come to this view after judging the gilts market to be “very distressed” in recent weeks, a view backed by its Financial Policy Committee. (FT)
BOE: Recent market turmoil means the Bank of England’s five-member Executive will need to consider pushing back the start of active gilt sales from Oct 31, though the initially positive reaction to government U-turns on tax cuts and fiscal support for higher energy prices may ease concerns over further delays to the plans. (MNI)
FISCAL: Britain's new finance minister Jeremy Hunt said on Monday that the economic forecasts which the country's independent fiscal watchdog OBR is set to publish by the end of this month will show government debt falling as a proportion of income. (RTRS)

The PM apologised for making mistakes, after the new chancellor Jeremy Hunt junked almost all of her tax-cutting plans to stabilise market turmoil. She added her month-old premiership "hasn't been perfect," but she had "fixed" mistakes. (BBC)

EUROPE
ECB: The European Central Bank must continue to rapidly roll back monetary support and not halt interest-rate increases too early, according to Governing Council member Joachim Nagel. (BBG)
ECB: Villeroy declined to comment on Macron’s concerns. But he expressed irritation at the idea the ECB risked pushing the economy into recession, saying this “misses the point”. The “predominant” risk was not higher rates, but the energy crisis. The ECB would continue to “go quickly” until its deposit rate reached 2 per cent — the so-called neutral rate of interest at which it neither stimulates nor restricts the economy — at the end of the year. Any increases beyond that point would be at “a more flexible and slower pace”, he said. The ECB aims to start shrinking the €9tn balance sheet that ballooned during the pandemic once rates are at neutral. Villeroy said from the end of this year the bank could stop replacing some of the bonds maturing under its €3.26tn asset purchase programme. (FT)

RBA: The Reserve Bank’s decision to reduce the size of the interest rate rises this month had been “finely balanced” with the risk of a global and domestic economic slowdown, but further interest rate rises are likely to be required, minutes from the central bank’s October board meeting show.

US TSYS: Firmer As Asia Fades NY Weakness & Reacts To BoE QT Delay Reports
Tsys firmed into London hours on the back of an FT source report which suggested that “the Bank of England is likely to delay the sale of billions of pounds of government bonds in a bid to foster greater stability in gilt markets following the UK’s failed “mini” Budget.”
- The space was already trading on the front foot as Asia faded the cheapening observed in Monday’s NY session, after the NY move lacked a clear headline driver.
- That leaves TYZ2 +0-11+ at 111-02, 0-02 off the top of its 0-14 overnight range, operating on decent volume of ~115K (~38K of which has crossed since the BoE story from the FT hit an hour ago). Cash Tsy trade sees 3.0-5.5bp of richening across the curve, with the 5- to 7-Year zone leading and the long end lagging.
- On the flow side, we have seen block sellers of TY futures (-1.8K & -1.9K), pre-BoE headlines, a block sale of TYX2 109.50 puts (-5K) which triggered screen-based flows and screen buying of FVZ2 107.50 calls.
- Gilt markets will be eyed once again, especially given the broader market reaction surrounding the FT story.
- Tuesday’s NY docket will see the release of industrial production data, as well as TIC flows and the NAHB housing market index. We will also get Fedspeak from Bostic & Kashkari.
JGBS: Curve Steepens Little Around 20-Year Supply Dynamics
JGBs have been subjected to some light steepening pressure, after the super-long saw some modest concession into 20-Year JGB supply. Cash JGBs run 0.5bp richer to 1.5bp cheaper ahead of the close, twist steepening.
- The auction saw the low price miss wider dealer expectations, although the cover ratio ticked higher and the tail width moderated from that seen in September. We remind you that last month’s auction was particularly weak, meaning that last month’s cover ratio (which was the lowest observed at a 20-Year auction since ’12) and particularly wide tail provide very low comparison bars. This month’s cover ratio was pretty much bang in line with the 6-auction average.
- The super-long end failed to rally, even as JGB futures caught a light bid on the back of the previously covered speculation re: a delay to the BoE’s implementation of QT. JGB futures trade +6 into the bell, sticking to a narrow range within the boundaries established during the overnight session.
- BoJ Governor Kuroda stressed that JPY weakness is becoming a factor re: inflation (this comes after various reports, including one from our own policy team, flagged an incoming upside adjustment to the BoJ’s inflation projection for the current FY).
- An address from BoJ’s Adachi headlines tomorrow’s domestic docket.
JGBS AUCTION: 20-Year JGB Auction Results

- Average Price: 99.62 (prev. 100.09)

AUSSIE BONDS: Firmer After Two-Way Offshore Cross Currents Drive Activity
Aussie bonds latched on to the wider bid in core global FI markets which came on the back of an FT report which pointed to the likely delay of the BoE’s QT plans, allowing the space to move to best levels of the Sydney session, with YM +9.5 and XM +11.5 ahead of the bell, just off their respective peaks.
- Cash ACGBs run 7-11.5bp richer, with the 10- to 12-year zone outperforming for much of the day.
- EFPs sit wider, albeit off session wides, with the 3-/10-Year box flattening a touch.
- Bills are 2p cheaper to 12bp richer, twist flattening, after bear flattening earlier in the session. RBA dated OIS has seen receive side flow in the wake of the BoE story from the FT, with terminal rate pricing back below 4.00% after showing above 4.10% in the wake of a firmer than expected NZ CPI print earlier in the session.
- The initial impulse from data seen across the ditch weighed on Aussie bonds before the broader core FI bid provided support at different stages of the day.
- An address from RBA Deputy Governor Bullock and the minutes from the October RBA meeting failed to move the needle for markets.
- Looking ahead, the Westpac leading index and A$800mn of ACGB Apr-29 supply are due on Wednesday.
NZGBS: CPI Triggers RBNZ Repricing, Front-End Weakness & Payside Swap Flow
NGBS ultimately twist flattened on Tuesday, recovering from their post NZ-CPI lows, with the firmer than expected headline and non-tradable readings triggering a repricing of RBNZ tightening expectations.
- RBNZ dated OIS now price a terminal OCR of ~5.25%, just over 20bp higher on the day and in line with the most aggressive of the new calls from the “Big 4” domestic banks (held by ASB), albeit shy of the intraday peak of just over 5.35%.
- Cash NZGBs were 7.5bp cheaper to 0.5bp richer at the close, pivoting around 10s.
- Payside flow dominated in swaps post-CPI, with swap spreads wider across the curve. 2-Year swap rates printed a fresh cycle high of 5.20% before moderating, closing at 5.14%, just over 14bp higher on the day.
- Elsewhere, we saw the RBNZ sectoral factor inflation model accelerate to +5.4% Y/Y in Q3 (against an upwardly revised +5.2% in Q2).
- A light bid in the U.S. Tsy space and lack of overtly hawkish rhetoric from RBA Deputy Governor Bullock across the Tasman, along with the relatively late cycle nature of the NZ economy, probably allowed the space to stabilise a little.
- Non-resident bond holdings of NZ bonds slipped to 57.7% in Sep vs. 58.4% in Aug.
- Tomorrow’s local docket is empty.
OIL: Oil Prices In A Holding Pattern As Market Struggles With Conflicting Forces
Oil prices are up slightly on the day as markets continue to struggle between signs that the market is tight and global demand concerns. WTI is up about 0.4% to around $86/bbl and the 20-day moving average held as a floor for prices. Brent is up around 0.4% to $92/bbl.
- The Whitehouse is planning an announcement this week relating to a release from the strategic oil reserve of a possible 10 to 15 million barrels to ease pressure on gasoline prices ahead of the mid-term elections, according to Bloomberg. There is also talk of an export cap being imposed on diesel and gasoline in November.
- The oil market remains worried by the impact that China’s continued Zero-Covid policy will have on demand.
- On the supply front, the OPEC+ output cuts hit in November, there’s been unwinding of investments in Russia by foreign entities, and the US EIA also reduced its shale-oil supply forecasts for October to 9mbd from 9.12mbd. However, it expects November production to be up slightly to 9.11mbd.
GOLD: Holding Yesterday's Gains
Gold is holding up better than most other commodities (e.g. copper and iron ore). The precious metal sits just above $1651 currently, slightly up on NY closing levels. We gained 0.34% yesterday, amid a broad pull back in the USD.
- Today the USD is slightly firmer against the likes of EUR, GBP & AUD, which has knocked gold off earlier highs, just above $1653.50, but we remain above overnight lows around $1647.
- In terms of topside levels, we did get above $1668 overnight, while moves into the $1670/80 region have generally capped gold since late last week.
- Outside of USD gyrations, the broader technical set up for gold still looks to be a negative one. We are still within striking distance of lows from last week around $1640.
- The steady picture in US real yields is likely lending some support though. The real US 10yr is not breaking higher, holding in a 1.55-1.65% range in recent weeks.
FOREX: NZD Soars As Hot CPI Print Boosts OCR-Hike Bets, GBP Gains On Potential For BoE QT Delay
The kiwi dollar held the bulk of gains registered on the back of an expectation-busting consumer inflation report, while the fluctuation in risk appetite drove price action across the wider G10 FX space. In New Zealand data, headline inflation printed at +7.2% Y/Y, considerably above the median estimate (+6.5%) and RBNZ projection (+6.4%), supporting the case for continued aggressive monetary tightening from the RBNZ. The insights from the Stats NZ report were reinforced by the RBNZ's preferred metric of core inflation (sectoral factor model), which accelerated to an all-time high of +5.4% Y/Y.
- The addition of hawkish OCR-hike bets sees the OIS strip price ~70bp worth of tightening at the November meeting (+10.9bp on the day), while 2-Year swaps soared to levels last seen in 2008. This came alongside a flurry of hawkish revisions to sell-side views, as the choir of voices calling for a 75bp rate hike next month grew louder, while terminal rate estimates were reset higher.
- Initial risk-on flows were starting to moderate, when a leap higher in U.S. e-mini futures reinstated the positive tone. E-mini S&P 500 contract extended through last week's highs, clearing its 20-EMA in the process, which sent the BBDXY index to new session lows (1,337.57).
- Shortly thereafter, another round of greenback sales came on the back of an FT report noting that the BoE was likely to delay quantitative tightening in pursuit of greater stability in gilt markets. Cable spiked to fresh session highs, testing the $1.1400 figure, while the BBDXY sank to its lowest point since Oct 7 (1,336.69).
- Greenback weakness provided some reprieve to the yen, even as it was the second-worst G10 performer. Participants remained on intervention watch, as top officials stuck to their familiar script, with FinMin Suzuki noting that they "will be watching markets with a sense of urgency today."
- Focus turns to German ZEW survey, U.S. industrial output & Canadian housing starts. Speeches are due from Fed's Bostic & Kashkari, ECB's Makhlouf & Schnabel and Riksbank's Jansson.
