Gilt futures remain soft following the recent strong sell-off. The contract has traded through the 97.00 handle and a continuation lower would suggest scope for an extension towards 96.00, and a support around 95.87, the May 1 low. Initial resistance to watch is 97.44, the May 23 high. A break of this level would allow for a stronger near-term recovery, potentially towards resistance at 98.12, the May 21 high.
