GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: Gilts have traded largely sideways all day Tuesday, with a few
Brexit-related gyrations along the way.
- The Mar 19 Gilt future is up 9 ticks at 124.17, having traded in a range of
123.98-124.29 today.
- The 2-Yr yield is down 0.9bps at 0.724%, 5-Yr is down 0.6bps at 0.813%, 10-Yr
is down 1.2bps at 1.154%, and 30-Yr is up 0.1bps at 1.685%.
- Gilts sold off around 1446GMT when The Sun reported that UK negotiators were
"pleasantly surprised" at progress on talks with the EU over the Withdrawal
pact, eying potential sign-off on "tweaks" at a summit in Egypt Sunday.
- But Gilts recovered as this news downplayed as "premature excitement". 
- Also reports that "Malthouse Compromise" pushed by hard Brexiteers has been
dropped by Downing St in negotiations with Brussels.
- Thin day of data awaits Wednesday, with only CBI Trends figures out. No BOE
speak scheduled this week either.
