Gilt futures remain vulnerable and the bearish impulsive run has continued this week. The sharp move lower reinforces a bearish theme and attention is on key support at 109.89, the Jun 16 low and a key medium-term bear trigger. Recent weakness has also resulted in the break of trendline support, drawn from the Jun 16 low. Clearance of 109.89 would confirm a resumption of the broader downtrend. Initial resistance is at 112.86, Aug 23 high.
