GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: There is nothing remarkable in early Gilt trading. The 10Y yield
is 1bp higher at 1.375%, mainly courtesy of a very poor 7Y UST auction last
night at which there was a massive 2bp tail. 
- According to the Telegraph newspaper Labour will "probably" vote in favour of
the final Brexit deal, according to a senior shadow cabinet minister.
- UK GfK consumer confidence data rose to -7 in March from -10.
- Nationwide house prices fell 0.2% in March, taking the annual rate down from
2.2% to 2.1%Y/Y and is being dragged lower by London.
- Today, the main event in the afternoon will be the month-end flow. The
Bloomberg-Barclays Sterling Agg Tsy rises by a very impressive 0.3Y, ten times
the 0.03Y average month-end duration extension for the past year. UK Gilt Linker
Index extension is 0.03 years.
