RV May Promote Takedown At Tomorrow's 10-Year Auction

GILTS

10s operate around multi-month cheaps on the 5-/10-/20-Year butterfly (albeit largely roll-driven) heading into tomorrow’s GBP3.75bn 4.625% Jan-34 gilt auction.

  • Those looking for longs/relative value exposure in 10s may use the auction/any related concession as an entry opportunity, given the butterfly and outright yield set up (10s are just below the mid-March highs in yield terms).
  • The multi-week issuance profile is favourable for 10s after tomorrow’s auction, with no further taps of the zone due until 1 May.
  • Beyond there, the 10-Year issuance burden is much more notable in the May-June window (including a syndication and green bond issuance), which may make any such plays a little more tactical in nature.
