Yields Surge As Fiscal U-Turn Rally Fades

GILTS

UK yields are surging across the curve to close out cash trading for the week, with bear steepening.

  • Multiple catalysts at play: A combination of buying the rumour and selling the fact on the Gov't U-Turn / hawkish US Data / the end of BoE emergency purchases.
  • 2Y yields up 17bp in the last 20 minutes and 41.5bp from the session low (last 3.926%); 30Y up 25bp the last 20 minutes and 56bp from the low, as chart below shows (last 4.782%).
