GILTS: Futures Hover Above Support After Sell Off, Hawkish Move In SONIA

Dec-08 10:35

Gilts sell off on bearish cues from EGBs in the wake of some typically hawkish remarks from ECBs Schnabel and firming wage indications in the latest REC report on jobs

  • Futures trade as low as 90.88, basing just above the December 2 low (90.87).
  • Bullish short-term technicals remain intact despite today’s sell off.
  • Fresh extension lower would target the November 25 low (90.53), while resistance comes in at the November 27 high (91.93).
  • Yields 3-4bp higher, 5- to 10-Year zone leads the weakness.
  • Gilt/Bund spread little changed around 168bp.
  • Gilt outperformance vs. Bunds stalled around the 165bp level last week, after the spread tightened by ~25bp since November 12.
  • The speed of the tightening, coupled with ongoing medium-term UK fiscal fisks, have been cited as limiting factors by some.
  • BoE-dated OIS still pricing over 80% odds of a December rate cut.
  • SONIA futures flat to -5.0. Terminal rate pricing 3.42% after trading between 3.30-3.35% for much of last week. November lows in SFIZ6 (96.550) remain untested.
  • Comments are due from BoE's Taylor (17:00) & Lombardelli (18:30), although the topics of their addresses may limit the scope for comments on monetary policy.
  • Further out, UK monthly economic activity data is due Friday.
