"I see market moves as a reflation trade, not an inflation trade."

"Whatever measure you look at, UK inflation expectations are well anchored."

"Pick-up in UK gilt yields is a corollary of more positive news in the economy, not inflation worry."

"There will be a high bar to unwinding UK monetary easing."
