1500 GMT - The Bank of England could reduce sales of long-dated gilts under its quantitative tightening program from September, when the next QT period begins, Morgan Stanley's Bruna Skarica says in a note. Quantitative tightening involves selling those bonds which were purchased during previous periods of quantitative easing. Dwindling demand for long-dated gilts could cause the BOE to alter its gilt sales program by skewing it "away from long-dated gilts," Skarica says. (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
