GILTS: Gap Support In Futures Holds, BoE Governor Points To Further Cuts Again

Sep-24 13:19

Gilts find supports after bears manage to close the opening gap higher 

  • A bid in crude oil (albeit with that move linked to geopolitical risk), coupled with headlines promoting EGB spread widening and a sizeable US$IG deal, have provided the major headwinds for bonds over the past couple of hours.
  • Recent comments from BoE Governor, as he continued to lean into the idea of further rate cuts, may have provided some modest background support.
  • Futures last 91.03 vs. session lows of 90.96.
  • Bulls now look to the September 11 high (91.82), while initial support of note is seen at the Sep 2/22 lows (90.65/60).
  • Yields little changed to 1bp higher, curve marginally steeper.
  • SONIA futures flat to +1.5, off highs given the move in bonds.
  • BoE-dated OIS still pricing ~6bp of cuts through year-end and the next cut is fully discounted come the end of the April meeting.
