Short-End Gilts A Little Weaker Pre-BoE

BONDS

Futures are broadly higher but within limited ranges early Thursday, with Treasuries slightly underperforming. Fairly light volumes overall ahead of the Bank of England decision.

  • The UK short end is notably weaker (2-Yr yield is up 1.4bps at 0.077%) in a bear flattening move on the UK curve ahead of the BoE decision.
  • Spain sold E4.7bln of Bono/Obli - SPGBs are leading EGB periphery tightening, with large screen buying in 10s (about a half hour before the auction). Meanwhile France sold E7.5bln of LT OAT.
  • The calendar for the rest of the session includes the BoE decision (0700ET/1200BST) and press conference an hour later; as well as appearances by Fed's Waller and Kashkari.
  • US initial jobless claims are the data highlight (earlier, German factory orders beat expectations).

Latest levels:

  • Sep Bund futures (RX) up 35 ticks at 177.29 (L: 177.05 / H: 177.31)
  • Sep Gilt futures (G) up 17 ticks at 130.31 (L: 130.21 / H: 130.39)
  • Sep BTP futures (IK) up 46 ticks at 155.43 (L: 154.98 / H: 155.46)
  • Sep 10-Yr US futures (TY) down 2.5/32 at 134-24 (L: 134-21.5 / H: 134-27.5)
