GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: Gilts erased all of Thursday's gains and then some Friday, as an
equity rebound and very strong U.S. jobs data dampened a dovish narrative.

123.14-123.91 today.

7.6bps at 1.27%, and 30-Yr is up 5.2bps at 1.8%.
- Losses were pretty steady throughout the day but Gilts hit day's lows as
global equities rallied hard over the late afternoon.
- Brexit talk will heat up again next week after a fairly quiet period, as the
parliamentary recess ends.
