Under Pressure, Futures Through A Couple Of Support Levels

GILTS

Gilts knocked lower alongside peers, with the hawkish ECB sources report and a swelling EUR & GBP issuance schedule applying weight.

  • Futures as low as 98.20, taking out a couple of support levels to test the 1.382 projection of the Aug 14-16-22 price swing (98.19).
  • A break there would expose round number support (98.00).
  • Yields 1-3bp higher across the curve, bear steepening.
  • Benchmark yields all moved through last week’s highs at the open.
  • SONIA markets see a modest extension of their early hawkish moves, futures last flat to -4.0.
  • Weekend headline flow saw some expected pushback from private equity and oil & gas firms when it came to potential Labour tax grabs. While some of the right-leaning press outlets have pointed to risk of ‘brain drain’. Nothing to really move markets, but worth noting.
  • Final manufacturing PMI data headlines today’s domestic schedule, with little in the way of meaningful UK risk events scheduled through this week.
