Theresa May faced another bruising.....>

GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: Theresa May faced another bruising session in parliament today for
prime minister's questions. Having outlined her 'new' proposals, there is little
to suggest that she can drum up any more support for the fourth vote on her
bill. Offering up hope of a second referendum is a step too far for many
eurosceptics.
- Cabinet discipline is breaking down and there has been mounting speculation
during the day that the PM could be told she has lost the confidence of her
cabinet MPs. If that were to occur, it is difficult to see how May could carry
on. 
- The Jun-19 gilt future trades at 129.16, ticks off the day's high; L-H:
128.68-129.26. Gilts have rallied with yields 4-6bps lower on the day. Cash
yields (Last / 1d chg / L...H): 2Y (0.69% / -4.3bp / 0.6809%...0.6951%); 5Y
(0.7804% / -5.7bp / 0.7731%...0.7894%); 10Y (1.0182% / -6.4bp /
1.0103%...1.0308%); 30Y (1.5749% / -5.1bp / 1.5679%...1.586%).
- The short sterling futures strip has flattened: W (+ 1/4.5 ticks); R (+ 4.5/6
ticks); G (+ 6.5/7.5 ticks); B (+ 7.5/8 ticks)
