Yields A Touch Lower, Comments From BoE's Mann Due Later
GILTS
Gilt futures (Z4) stick to a narrow 21-tick range, +14 at 98.94.
- Initial resistance at yesterday’s high (99.21), support at yesterday’s low (98.54).
- First notice for G U4 is tomorrow, with over 85% of the roll complete.
- Yields 1-2bp lower across the curve.
- Crude oil futures hit the lowest level of the week, providing some background support for gilts.
- BoE hawk Mann will appear on a panel discussing “The Value of Economic Research for Policy” (13:15 London). There is no live streaming of the event.
- Don’t expect much new from Mann today.
- BoE comments have refrained from signalling a need for back-to-back cuts, stopping the market from fully discounting sequential easing at meetings through early ’25 (~40bp of cuts currently priced through year end).
- GBP1.5bn of 0.75% Nov-33 I/L supply was smoothly digested.
