GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: Gilts are a little weaker to open Wednesday, with August inflation
data up shortly (and which has the potential to surprise to the upside).
- The Dec 18 Gilt future is down 9 ticks at 121.05, having opened down 7 ticks
at 121.07.
- The Gilt cash curve is largely flat: 2-Yr yield is up 0.2bps at 0.822%, 5-Yr
up 0.3bps at 1.153%, 10-Yr up 0.3bps at 1.571%, and 30-Yr up 0.2bps at 1.916%.
- Short Sterling futures are trading mixed, with short-dated contracts (out to
Dec19) up a tick, and Dec20-Jun22 down a tick each.
- UK CPI,PPI and house price index data will be published at 0930BST. After July
saw a headline rate of 2.5% y/y, the MNI median points to a 2.4% y/y rate in
August. However, if past August MNI medians are anything to go by, there could
be an upward surprise.
- BOE's Haldane speaks at Bank of Estonia's 100th anniversary at 0900BST. 
- PM May meets fellow EU leaders in Salzburg this evening ahead of the informal
