The yield on 10-year gilts continued to rise yesterday as investors sell off the bonds. Higher gilt yields push up the cost of servicing Britain's national debt and financing the deficit. 

Mike Amey, managing director of Pimco - the world's biggest bond investor - says gilt traders are keeping an eye on inflation risks and Chancellor Philip Hammond's government spending plans.

Although there's been quite a big sell off in bond markets over the past few weeks, markets are likely to wait and see what the Chancellor has to say in his autumn statement in a month's time, Mr Amey tells Today.

More now on those negotiations between Tesco and Unilever over price rises. On Wake up to Money Bryan Roberts reckons the likes of Aldi and Lidl are in a stronger position in supplier negotiations.  

"The discounters are a lot less reliant on the big brands than their supermarket competitors. They're about between 60% and 85% private label so they've got a lot more wiggle room when it comes to dealings with the big brands and also they actually source a lot more from within the UK than most of their supermarket peers, so arguably Aldi and Lidl are in a much better position when it comes to dealing with the impact of Brexit.

"You throw in the fact that people like Asda and Tesco source a huge amount of non-food items from Asia, for example, that puts even more pressure on them as the value of sterling continues to drop."

Ewen Cameron Watt, a senior director of the BlackRock Investment Institute, says there's a well-documented time lag between a major move in the currency - such as we've seen over the last six months - and inflation.

"We'll see that in fuel prices at the pump rising in the next week or so," he tells Today. 

Petrol prices will go up, not just because of the weaker pound but also because the price of oil has risen, he says.

Twitter reacts, and gently pokes fun, at the shortage of Marmite and other household brands on Tesco's website.

The dispute between Tesco and major supplier Unilever is likely to end in a small price increase for shoppers, according to one retail expert.

Bryan Roberts from TCC Global consultancy says all three parties - the supplier, retailer and the shopper - will likely "share the pain" of the fall in the value of the pound.

Unilever has been very open and said price increases will happen as a result of Brexit, Mr Roberts tells Today.

Tesco said last week it will do everything in its power to make sure it's not passed on to the consumer, he adds. 

But in the end these disputes often end with the prices going up slightly.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. 

Both the boss of Unilever and the boss of Tesco have previously warned that the fall in the value of the pound since Brexit could see the price of some products rise. They are not seeing eye to eye now. 

A Unilever demand for a 10% rise in the wholesale price of many well-known brands has seen the UK's biggest retailer dig in its heels. 

Tesco boss Dave Lewis was a senior executive at Unilever, so is in a good position to read the Anglo-Dutch company's hand in this game of grocery poker.

Tesco has stopped selling dozens of its most famous household brands to its online shoppers because of a dispute with its biggest supplier, Unilever.

Included are Marmite, PG Tips tea, Pot Noodles and Surf washing powder.

Retail analyst Bryan Roberts from TCC Global is on Wake up to Money.

"I think it was inevitable that there would be price increases coming down into negotiations between suppliers and retailers," he says. 

"A lot of suppliers have warned that Brexit and the subsequent impact on sterling would prompt price increases or attempted price increases and a number of retailers have acknowledged that Brexit and the subsequent impact would also lead to price pressure, so this is obviously a very high profile case that's spilled over into the public arena and hopefully will be resolved in the near future, so it's probably doing neither side any favours and certainly not shoppers either," he adds.

Figures out this morning show property prices are climbing again 

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors says demand among home buyers has increased for the first time in seven months - and it says prices will continue to rise ove the next three months. 

Russell Quirk is the chief executive of online estate agents Emoov and he's on Wake up to Money.  

"Reports of the demise of the UK property mark have been rather exaggerated," he says.

However, he points out that while buyers are flocking to snap up properties, sellers are still reluctant, which is why prices are on the up. 

He reckons property prices will end this year 6% ahead of where they were at the end of 2015 - and he thinks that is sustainable. 

Homeowners are likely to be happy about the situation, first time buyers less so ...
