BUNDS: German fixed income futures trade unch. to lower at writing. Schatz +0.5

tick, Bobls -4.0 ticks, Bunds -15 ticks. Bunds followed Tsys to highs in the

latter part of Monday's session, before easing back, aided by risk appetite

recovering overnight. Monday saw the European Commission state that its no-deal

Brexit preparations are complete, before UK PM May conceded that her deal still

doesn't have the support of the Commons, and an amendment was voted through the

Commons to pave the way for indicative voting re: Brexit matters on Wednesday.

- ECB`s Hansson, in an interview with MNI, published Monday, said that the EZ

slowdown may persist. He also said it may be too early for an ECB MonPol review

& TLTRO terms may not be announced in June. Elsewhere ECB`s Coeure said that

Bund yields have been driven more by savings dynamics than ECB policy; noting

that ECB is not yet at the limit of what it can do.

- Elsewhere, BBG sources have suggested that senior officials from euro-area

finance ministries haven't made a decision to recommend the disbursement of some

EUR1bn in cash for debt relief for Greece as of yet.
