BOND SUMMARY
BOND SUMMARY: /EGBS-GILTS: Core EGBs and Gilts are a little firmer ahead of the
ECB decision today, despite a tentative stabilisation in equities.
- Bunds traded a little softer after better-than-expected Apr industrial orders
figures, but have turned slightly higher.
- Italy spreads a little tighter, usual Salvini headlines largely ignored.
- Decent supply this morning with Spain (nominals+linkers) and France due up.
- Eurozone employment & final Q1 GDP provide the data highlights. 
- Reminder this is the first notice/last trade date on Eurex for EGB futures. By
our estimates late yesterday the roll was nearly over for all contracts.

- BOE's Carney due to appear in Tokyo at 1000BST.
