GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: Having started the session on a strong footing, gilt quickly gave
up the early gains and have remained offered through the afternoon. A positive
slate of economic data has partially offset the hit to risk sentiment from the
escalation in US-China relations.

range and 3 tick's off the low.
- Cash yields are broadly 2bp higher with the curve trading close to flat. Last
yield levels: 2-year -0.0871%, 5-year -0.0969%, 10-year 0.1461%, 30-year
0.6580%.
- The DMO earlier sold GBP3.5bn of 1-/3-/6-month bills.
- UK retail sales for June and preliminary PMI data for July surprised sharply
to the upside. Looking ahead, the data calendar will lack Tier 1 data next week.

House price index for July will be published, as well as money supply and
