Gilt futures still appear vulnerable. Last week’s extension lower resulted in a break of trendline support drawn from the Jun 16 low. The pullback this month is still considered corrective and the trend outlook remains bullish. However, an extension lower would expose 114.86 next, a Fibonacci retracement. On the upside, initial firm resistance has been defined at 118.10, the Aug 10 high. A break would be a bullish development.
