UK Gilt Prices Drop Sharply, 10-Year Yields Hit Highest Level Since 2008

  • British government bonds experienced significant price declines for a second consecutive day, leading to a rise in 10-year yields to their highest levels since August 2008.
  • The value of sterling fell by more than 1.2% against the U.S. dollar, reaching its lowest point since April at $1.2322.
  • 30-year gilt yields witnessed a record increase, reaching 5.383%, marking their highest levels in 26 years.
  • Analysts attribute these shifts to global market moves, with the UK leading due to its unique economic conditions and reduced expectations for Bank of England rate cuts.
  • Increased gilt yields could lead to higher public debt costs, with estimates suggesting an additional £10 billion annually in debt interest for the UK.
