BOND SUMMARY: - Bonds globally are weaker, with US yields continuing to push

higher in a bounce-back from Thursday's below-consensus US CPI reading, and UK

Gilts under pressure.

- Dec8 bond futures are lower, with the Bund down 16 ticks at 159.30, US T-Note

off 5+/32 at 119-08, and Gilt down 23 ticks at 121.46.

- BoE Governor Mark Carney's comments in Dublin have proven fairly non-eventful

but did little to stem the bearish move in UK rates and yields this morning that

followed from reports that he signalled higher interest rates in event of

no-deal Brexit (Gilt future hit a low of 121.34 as Carney was speaking).

- The belly of the USTsy curve is underperforming, with 2-Yr yields up 1.3bps at

2.769%, 5-Yr up 1.6bps at 2.888%, and 10-Yr up 1.3bps at 2.983%.

- Global rate futures are lower, led by long-dated Short Sterling and

Eurodollars, for which Green and Blue contracts are off 3.0 ticks.

- U.S. retail sales (0830EST) and industrial production (0915EST) are the

headline releases on Friday. Also, Fed's Evans and Rosengren are due to speak.
