Gilt futures blew through several key resistance levels in response to a lower-than-expected inflation release on Wednesday, tipping prices to their best levels since early June. The 50-dma had guided prices lower across the past three months and the close above the mark is a bullish signal - the first such close since early April. Short-term positive momentum has strengthened, and the rally is yet to trigger an overbought condition. As such, round number resistance at 98.00 and the 100-dma are the next key upside levels for bulls.
