GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: SNP Brexit Secretary Mike Russel has stated that the Scottish
government could accelerate legislation for a second independence referendum in
the event of a no-deal Brexit. While pressure would almost certainly mount for
another independence vote in this scenario, it is difficult to envisage
Westminster backing it.
- Outgoing Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland Philip Lane has stated that
the risk of a no-deal Brexit is rising, mirroring the sentiment held across much
of the EU. 
- The Jun-19 gilt future trades at 130.38, up 16 ticks from Tuesday's close and
6 ticks off the day's low; L-H: 130.32-130.53.
