A strong impulsive bull wave in AUDUSD remains intact and sights are on key resistance at 0.6707, the Sep 17 high and bull trigger. Note that MA studies have recently crossed and are in a bull-mode position, reinforcing current conditions. A breach of 0.6707 would strengthen a bull theme. From a near-term perspective, the trend is overbought. A pullback would allow this condition to unwind. Key support to watch is at 0.6579, the 20-day EMA.

GILT SYNDICATION: 1.75% Sep-38 linker preview

Nov-12 07:47
  • There will only be one DMO operation this week with the syndicated tap of the 1.75% Sep-38 linker on offer with a transaction expected today.
  • The last two conventional syndications in September and October of the new 10-year 4.75% Oct-35 gilt and long 15-year 5.25% Jan-41 gilt have both seen very strong demand.
  • The syndication before that was the launch of the 1.75% Sep-38 linker for GBP5.5bln nominal on 10 June.
  • This was also a very well received syndication with books of GBP61.3bln and pricing at the tighter end of guidance at the 1.125% Nov-37 linker plus 11.75bp.
  • We expect to see further strong demand, albeit with books potentially a little smaller and a transaction size that is similar or marginally smaller at GBP4.5-5.5bln.
  • Timing: Books are expected to open at either 8:30GMT or 9:00GMT and then to remain open for an hour. The syndication size will then likely be confirmed around 20-60 minutes after books close with pricing expected around lunchtime.
