GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: Gilts have sold this morning as investors have broadly taken May's
heavy loss last night as increasing the likelihood of an extension to Article 50
and decreasingly the likelihood of a no deal.
- The Mar 19 Gilt future is down 28 ticks at 122.92, having traded in a range of
122.87-123.04 today.
- Immediately after the vote Corbyn tabled a vote of no confidence in the
government, the vote will take place tonight close to 1900GMT where May is
broadly expected to win. 
- Despite market pricing, and the will of the Commons to avoid it, the base case
must still be 'no-deal' as the only legislature currently in place is that the
UK will leave the EU on Mar 29.
- Losses across the curve were felt most in the 10-Yr where yields rose 3.1bps
to 1.289%, the 2s10s is 1.1bps steeper with the 5s30s steepening by 0.3bps.   
- May's focus will now be on trying to gain (minor) concessions from the EU
before having to outline her "Plan B" to the Commons on Monday as per the Grieve
amendment.
