Gilts
The yield on ten-year gilts fell to a seven-month low as investors sought to avoid risk after stocks tumbled amid fears about the eurozone debt crisis. The June gilt future settled 82 ticks up at 120.76 — on a continuous contract basis, the highest since May last year. The yield on ten-year gilts fell ten basis points to 3.432 per cent, its lowest since October.
Deal of the day
Shares in Burberry fell 17p to 612½p ahead of the fashion group’s full-year results today. The City is looking for pre-tax profits of about £205 million and for the FTSE 100 group to give a generally upbeat outlook for the year ahead. The group was reasonably positive at its recent fourth-quarter update. Prime CFDs offers a June contract spread of 616½p-618p.
Securities and Derivatives markets may be subject to rapid and unexpected price movements and past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Trading in these markets is generally considered to be suitable only for the more experienced investor as it carries a high degree of risk. An investor may not receive back the amount of their original investment and in certain circumstances may be liable for a sum that is greater than their original investment. If in any doubt, please seek independent financial advice.
