UK 2-/10-Year Spread Catching Down To U.S. & German Equivalents

BONDS

Last week we highlighted the fact that although the UK 2-/10-Year yield spread had moved to the deepest levels of inversion in the current cycle, on the back of hawkish BoE repricing, it still remained less inverted than the German & U.S. equivalents (see here). The UK has since closed the gap a little (moving to the deepest level of inversion seen since 2000, if we close at current levels), as you can see in the image below, with all of the aforementioned curves moving deeper into inverted territory as the higher for longer central bank policy rate narrative becomes more embedded.
