⚑ Treasurer's Note — The PWLB curve has dropped 6–8bp across all maturities at the AM reset, with no clear macro or news catalyst in play. This is a notable parallel move, so rate levels are now materially lower than yesterday. If you are considering a transaction, be aware that the next reset will depend on how gilts trade through the morning, but for now, the window is open at these lower levels. No significant data is due today to shift the picture before the PM fix.
