UK sells £1.7 billion of index-linked treasury gilt at 1.588% yield

LONDON - The United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280) Debt Management Office (DMO) completed an auction of £1.7 billion ($2.2 billion) of 1⅛% Index-linked Treasury Gilt 2035 on Tuesday, with strong demand from investors.

The auction saw bids totaling £5.687 billion, making it 3.35 times oversubscribed. The gilt was sold at a real clean price of £95.668, corresponding to a real yield of 1.588%.

Competitive bids accepted at the striking price were allotted 43% of the amount bid for, while bids above the striking price were allotted in full. Bids below the striking price were rejected.

Of the total amount, £1.445 billion was allotted to competitive bids, while £255 million was allocated to non-competitive bids from Gilt-edged Market Makers.

The DMO noted that an additional amount of up to £425 million of the stock will be made available to successful bidders for purchase at the non-competitive allotment price.

The inflation-adjusted clean price was calculated at £98.560044, using an index ratio of 1.03023.

The gilt, which has the ISIN code GB00BT7HZZ68, will be credited to successful bidders’ CREST accounts through member-to-member deliveries on the relevant settlement date.

Index-linked gilts differ from conventional gilts as both the interest payments and principal are adjusted in line with the UK Retail Prices Index, offering investors protection against inflation.
