Gilt futures traded lower late last week and breached first support at 96.11, the Jul 21 low. This highlights a bearish threat and note that the 20-day EMA, at 95.67, has also been breached. This signals scope for a deeper pullback, potentially towards 94.58, the Jul 17 low. On the upside, key short-term resistance is unchanged at 97.84, the high on Jul 19. A break is required to resume the uptrend. Initial firm resistance is at 96.81, the Jul 27 high.
