Gilt futures rallied sharply higher on Friday confirming a resumption of the recovery that started Sep 25. Today’s gap higher strengthens current conditions and price is approaching resistance at 91.82, the Sep 24 high. A clear break of this hurdle would strengthen bullish conditions and open the 92.00 handle. Price needs to trade below support at 90.26, the Sep 26 low, to reinstate a bearish theme. First support lies at 90.90, the 20-day EMA.
