GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: Gilts continue to push lower late Wednesday afternoon, ahead of
tonight`s Parliamentary vote on ruling out `no deal` Brexit.
- The Jun 19 Gilt future is down 29 ticks at 127.02, low of 126.97. The 2-Yr
yield is up 2.9bps at 0.748%, 5-Yr is up 3.1bps at 0.924%, 10-Yr is up 3.5bps at
1.198%, and 30-Yr is up 3.8bps at 1.727%.
- MPs will vote at 1900GMT on whether to leave the E.U. without a deal on 29
March. Downing Street has confirmed that Conservative MPs will have a free vote.
- Widely expected that MPs will vote to rule out `no deal` on the 29th (99%
implied odds on Betfair), though this afternoon have seen some upside Short
Sterling option structures that possibly suggest hedging `no deal` concerns.
- Brexit vote amendments to be voted on this evening are a) ruling out `no deal`
forever and b) delaying Brexit to mitigate consequences of `no deal`. Neither
looks likely to pass.
- DMO`s financing remit for 2019-20 announced earlier includes Stg114.1bln in
gross gilt sales (5-10% below consensus), with Stg85.8bln in auctions, Stg21bln
in syndications and Stg7.3bln from unallocated issuance.
