No Sign Of Concession For 7s Ahead Of Today’s Auction

GILTS

No sign of meaningful concession for 7s on the 5-/7-/10-Year fly as we head into today’s GBP3.75bn 4.00% Oct-31 auction.

  • The structure trades in the middle of the range witnessed since late February, with a parallel 2bp shift higher seen in belly to intermediate yields as the curve digests the firmer-than-expected UK GDP data and typically hawkish Wednesday comments from BoE’s Mann.
  • 2s7s sit a little off the early July highs, which represented the highest level seen since April ’23. Those looking for a further fade of the recent dovish move in BoE pricing may like flatteners, with this auction providing a liquidity event/entry point.
