Still Under Pressure, Futures Take Out Another Support Level

GILTS

Broader pressure in core global FI markets continues to weigh on gilts, with support at the May 1 low (95.87) breached in futures. The contract trades as low as 95.72, with bears now eying the 2.00 projection of the May 16-20-21 price swing (95.64).

  • Still, only 2- & 50-Year gilt yields have breached their recent highs, running 3-9bp higher across the curve, with bear steepening seen.
  • ’24 10-Year yield high equivalent support in futures comes in at 95.51 today.
  • Local headline flow has been fairly non-existent today, leaving broader market moves at the fore.
  • 2-Year EGB spreads to gilts are now mixed on the day after gilts widened across the board this morning, while 5+-Year gilts are still wider vs. European peers on the day.
