GILT SYNDICATION: 5.25% Jan-41 gilt syndication tap preview
Jun-08 14:37
We expect the 5.25% Jan-41 gilt syndication to take place tomorrow (Tuesday) but with a chance of Wednesday.
The gilt was launched via syndication in October for GBP9.0bln and then tapped also via syndication in January for GBP7.25bln. Both transactions saw books well in excess of GBP100bln.
However, both transactions were also when the gilt was in the long-dated bucket and it has since migrated down to the medium-dated bucket. To date there have been no auctions for the gilt.
After last month’s 10-year syndication saw GBP15bln sold, there is only GBP5bln remaining in the medium syndication bucket. We think that it would be unlikely to see a transaction this small, however, and pencil in GBP6-8bln as a more realistic target size – with a skew to a potentially larger transaction.
We expect continued strong demand for this gilt, particularly as it has not been selected to be reopened via auction in FQ2 (Jul-Sep).
