GILTS: Bull Flattening, Fiscal Situation Not Quite As Bad As Feared
Oct-08 07:53
Gilts firm alongside core global FI peers, with German data and some optimism around the French political situation providing wider support.
- As we noted earlier, errors in the ONS PSNB data mean that the UK’s fiscal situation is slightly more favourable than was previously envisaged, which has probably driven some gilt curve flattening.
- 10-Year gilts underperform vs. Bunds, with the spread 1bp wider on the day.
- Futures +26 at 90.80.
- Bears remain in technical control, initial support and resistance is located at 90.26 & 91.08, respectively.
- Yields flat to 1.5bp lower, 2s10s ~5bp off September closing lows, while 5s30s is ~2bp off its September closing low.
- Comments from BoE chief economist Pill are due this afternoon.
- Elsewhere, the DMO will come to market with a GBP5bln sale of the new 4.00% May-29 gilt.
