GILTS: 30-Year Yields Off Highs, Uptrend Intact

Aug-20 12:18

{GB} GILTS: While gilt bears managed to force the highest closing level for 30-Year yields seen in the current cycle on Monday (5.611%), they failed to challenge the intraday high registered in early April (5.659%), with the subsequent recovery leaving the benchmark at 5.55%.

  • While demand for long end paper has been robust in instances of primary issuance, structural reduction in pension holdings reduce demand in the secondary market, while the UK’s ongoing fiscal fragility provides background pressure (at a minimum).
  • As a result, the uptrend in play since the ’21 low remains intact, with that support line ~20bp below prevailing levels at typing.
