GILTS: Aggressive Twist Steepening
Apr-09 07:25
Gilts sell off, adjusting to the overnight move in Tsys.
- Futures break yesterday’s low, basing at 91.08, before a recovery to 91.30.
- Support at the Mar 28 low (91.03) was untested. That level protects the Mar 27 base & key support (90.55).
- Yields 9bp lower to 15bp higher, aggressive curve steepening seen.
- 10s30s is set for the first close above 80bp since August ’16, while 2s30s is on track for the steepest close since ’17.
- Flattener plays in the former were a preferred position into the Spring Statement, given expectations surrounding a shortening of WAM. Exiting of related legacy positions could be factoring into today’s steepening.
- GBP4.5bln of 4.375% Mar-30 gilt supply is due today.
- MPC member Lombardelli didn’t provide much in the way of market-pertinent commentary.
- A reminder that BoE’s Breeden will speak at an MNI Connect event on Thursday, covering “UK economic and financial stability prospects."
