GILT SUMMARY: There is nothing remarkable in Gilt trading. The 10Y yield is

quickly in the 5Y section of the curve, perhaps some early month-end extensions
in the inflation space but also sterling has remained weak so far today.

the final Brexit deal, according to a senior shadow cabinet minister.

2.2% to 2.1%Y/Y and is being dragged lower by London.
