GILTS: Medium-Term Steepening Risks Still Noted

Nov-19 13:54

The prospect for an expedited BoE easing cycle, the Chancellor’s apparent focus on hiking smaller taxes (where takings are more volatile than the “big 3”) and questions surrounding the leadership of the Labour Party point to ongoing steepening risks for the UK curve.

  • This comes after questions surrounding the future of PM Starmer (any potential ousting could result in a meaningful change of fiscal policy alongside increased political risk premium) and Chancellor Reeves’ apparent u-turn when it comes to income tax rate hikes (along with suggestions that she is looking to shield small businesses from tax rises) have driven much of the steepening seen month-to-date.
  • 2s10s trades at the highest level seen since early September, last 78bp. Next area of upside interest is located at the September year-to-date closing high (81.63bp).
  • 5s30s is threatening a clean break above the September 19 closing high (142.55bp). A move through there would target the cycle closing high (151.97bp).
  • The UK Budget (due next Wednesday) presents the key short-term risk event.
