Very strong auction sees gilt futures spike 20 ticks higher

GILT AUCTION RESULTS
  • Very strong gilt auction with the second highest bid-to-cover of this year (just below the 3.62x seen in January for the 4.75% Oct-43 gilt). Bigger picture, it is also the second highest bid-to-cover since April 2020 (which was the last time there was a higher bid-to-cover at a 10-year auction).
  • The tail of 0.2bp was also tight.- The price of the 4.625% Jan-34 gilt has risen from 105.581 pre-auction to a high of 105.792 post-auction.
  • Gilt futures spiked 20 ticks higher on the auction results to a high of 100.17 (but have pared half of that gain at writing).
