The possibility of a Withdrawal Bill...>

GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: The possibility of a Withdrawal Bill vote earlier than expected
and further intra-party turmoil has done little to move Gilts early Wednesday.
- Mar 19 Gilt futures up 10 ticks at 124.10.
- The 2-Yr yield is down 0.3bps at 0.736%, 5-Yr is down 0.2bps at 0.825%, 10-Yr
is down 0.7bps at 1.162%, and 30-Yr is down 0.4bps at 1.694%.
- Plenty of Brexit speculation as usual. 
- UK PM May is in Brussels to discuss the Withdrawal Agreement once again. 
- Telegraph reports May "considering plans to bring forward a vote on her Brexit
deal to next week to see off the threat of resignations by pro-EU ministers."
- Tories set to lose 4 MPs, with ITV`s political editor Peston tweeting: "Sarah
Woolaston, Anna Soubry and Heidi Allen would defect to the Independent Group
this morning. Looking like it may happen shortly before PMQs"
- Thinking is that this could bring a general election closer as it weakens a
party already in minority; more Labour defections expected as well following MP
Joan Ryan`s last night.
- CBI Trends data out at 1100GMT as a fairly thin week for data continues.
