GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: Gilts are little changed overall Thursday, as PM May looks to coax
some concessions on Brexit at the EU summit in Brussels following her victory in
Wednesday`s Conservative Party no-confidence vote.
- The Mar 19 Gilt future is up 3 ticks at 123.41, having traded in a range of
123.12-123.69 today.
- The 2-Yr yield is down 0.6bps at 0.744%, 5-Yr is down 0.9bps at 0.885%, 10-Yr
is down 2.1bps at 1.258%, and 30-Yr is down 3.2bps at 1.799%.
- PM May back in Brussels to discuss changes to the Brexit Withdrawal agreement.
Most comments from EU leaders appear to reaffirm that the legal aspects of the
deal are non-negotiable (France`s Macron and Germany`s Merkel said as much).
- More conciliatory language from other leaders, with Austria`s Kurz saying they
are `prepared to accommodate May`. Other talk is of a `legal interpretation` of
the Irish backstop, though short of any major changes.
- No more key UK data this week; attention beginning to turn to BOE next week.
