EGB/GILTS SUMMARY: Plenty of eyes on...>

BOND SUMMARY: EGB/GILTS SUMMARY: Plenty of eyes on market opens, following the

big drop in Treasuries overnight, on couple of positive Factors 

-Bund gapped lower (some 43 ticks down), but we have slowly corrected as the

dust settles and market participants takes a breather following a volatile

afternoon session yesterday on possible US-China trade deal, smoothly followed

by the UK election, which a positive spin to risk sentiment. 

-Bund are attempting to close the opening gap towards 171.61, but the contract

has so far traded 171.54 high. 

-Peripherals are generally tighter versus the German 10, with BTP best performer

and 3.6 bps tighter on the day. -Gilts, also gapped lower, and opened 80 ticks

lower, with the contract taking its cue from the good old British Pound, which

rose close to 3% on the exit poll results. And the lower global govies. 

-The contract and the GBP has corrected somewhat, not too surprising given the

huge move we had. -Gilt is looking to close the gap but only managed to print a

131.05 high, with gap level situated at 131.19. 

-This afternoon sees US Retail Sales. Unlikely to do much.
