GILTS: Under Slight Pressure As Equities Recover, Equities Eyed

Nov-24 15:12

{GB} GILTS: The uptick in cover at the latest medium-dated bucket sale from the BoE’s APF holdings provides some brief background support for gilts, but the move quickly fades.

  • Cross-market moves have dominated for much of the session, with a recent uptick in equities weighing on gilts.
  • Futures have filled the opening gap higher after Friday’s high (92.43) helped cap rallies (today’s highs is 92.44).
  • Bears remain in technical control at this stage.
  • Support comes in at 91.51.
  • Conversely, extension higher would target the November 18 high (92.60), which protects the 20-day EMA (92.70).
  • Yields little changed to 1bp higher, curve flatter.
  • SONIA futures now little changed to -3.0, while BoE-dated OIS still prices over 80% odds of a December cut.
  • Our detailed Budget preview is here.
  • Meanwhile, our Gilt Week Ahead document details the key areas to watch at the event and updates on weekend press reports re: fiscal matters.
