Gilts print a fresh contract low at 85.44, lower by 139 ticks vs downside of 66 ticks in Bunds or 19 ticks in USTs.

What it means

Gilts reaching a fresh contract low suggests significant bearish sentiment in the UK bond market, with a notable underperformance relative to German Bunds and U.S. Treasuries. This widening spread may indicate concerns about the UK's fiscal outlook or inflationary pressures, impacting investor sentiment and potentially influencing the Bank of England's interest rate strategy moving forward.
