- Softer-than-expected German IFO saw session highs, before the rally was pared.
- BoE-dated OIS little changed, 47.5bp of ’24 cuts priced, 14.5bp through Aug, ~22bp through Sep. SONIA futures +0.5 to -1.5. STIRs off last week’s dovish extremes.
- This BoE will sell GBP750mn of medium-term gilts from its APF this afternoon, after confirming that it will trim medium- and long-term gilt sales in Q3 (the latter likely provides light support for gilts early today). CBI trends data is also due.
