"crap"?
Being somewhat of a connoisseur where these channels are concerned I must admit I'm disturbed by the amount of plastic norks appearing.

09:32 22Apr09 JUNE GILT FUTURE <FLGM9> EXTENDS LOSSES, NOW DOWN MORE THAN HALF A POINT ON THE DAY BELOW 122.00, AFTER UK DATA

09:32 22Apr09 STERLING EXTENDS FALLS VS DOLLAR TO $1.4573 <GBP=> AFTER UK DATA

09:47 22Apr09 RTRS-Sterling, gilts fall, stocks rise after UK data

LONDON, April 22 - Sterling extended losses against the dollar while gilt futures fell and UK stocks rose on Wednesday after data showed mixed data on jobs and a worsening in public finances.

Data showed the number of Britons claiming jobless benefit rose by less than expected in March, although the total unemployment number surged higher and government borrowing hit a record high, further evidence that the British economy is mired in deep recession.

That's expected to be confirmed in a much more gloomy assessment of the economy from finance minister Alistair Darling later in the day when he unveils the 2009-10 budget.

In March, 73,000 people joined the dole queues, well below forecasts for a rise of 120,000 but the unemployment rate rose to 6.7 percent from 6.5 percent. [ID:nONS004193].

"The jobless figures were clearly better than many had expected, but any positive momentum for sterling has been undermined by disappointing numbers for the public finances, putting more pressure on the Chancellor for today's budget," said Chris Gothard, currency analyst at Brown Brothers Harriman in London.

The pound initially rose to around $1.4610 from around $1.4590 before the data. It was last down 0.8 percent at $1.4551 <GBP=>.

The June gilt future briefly extended losses to 121.97 from 122.12 <FLGM9> before the data, trading down more than half a point on the day.

The 10-year cash yield rose two basis points to 3.35 percent <GB10YT=RR> and the two-year yield held steadier around 1.46 percent <GB2YT=RR>.

Britain's FTSE 100 <.FTSE> briefly extended gains after the data, up as much as 0.4 percent to touch 4,002.31 before retreating back below 4,000.

10:10 22Apr09 Official GDP forecasts to be slashed in UK Budget

09:10 GMT - Central to today's [UK BUDGET] will be the expected and dramatic revision to Govt [GROWTH F/CS] with Chanc Darling predicted to opt for something close to a 3.5% contraction this year vs his central target of -1.0% in the Nov pre-budget. Note that the OECD is forecasting a 3.7% drop in UK output this year, the IMF -3.8% and the CBI -3.9%. Any of these estimates would mark the largest annual contraction since 1945.

Crucial for the path of public finances will also be the speed of the recovery with Darling expected to veer towards calling a v-shaped recession. He is likely to say the economy will start to pick up by year end and that official figs will show positive growth in Q1. In Nov he predicted a 1.5-2.0% growth rate for 2010 and 3% in the following 3 years.

Market consensus for next year is for a small 0-0.5% rise in GDP.
