Dec-29 08:25
UK paper plays catch up to the rally in wider core global FI markets.

- Yields 1-3bp lower, curve flatter.
- 10s back below 4.50%, oscillating around that level since early December.
- 2s10s 1bp lower at 75.9bp after the recent steepening move failed to breach 80bp, leaving the November high (80.31bp) intact.
- Gilt/Bunds stable around 164bp after the recent failed foray below 160bp.
- GBP STIRs trade around pre-gilt open levels identified earlier. Next 25bp BoE rate cut fully discounted through June, ~39bp of easing priced through November.
- Little in the way of meaningful UK news flow since markets closed for Christmas, with broader geopolitical matters at the fore.
- No tier one UK data releases are due until the new year.
