Gilt Yields and Economic Context
In early January 2025, UK 10-year gilt yields soared as high as 4.925%. This was the highest in 2008, all part of a broader trend: in the past year, yields gained about 1 percentage point on growing worries about the fiscal policies of the UK government and its economic prospects. The yield on the 30-year gilt also surged to 5.40%, the highest since 1998. Contributing to the surge have been anxieties about tax and spending plans following the October budget and a bond sell-off that raised the costs of borrowing. A rise in yields pushed the British pound down around 1.6 percent against the dollar. Analysts warn that higher yields bring with them some investment opportunities, but also greater risk and uncertainty in the UK bond market. Overall, higher gilt yields mark a good deal of market turbulence at the start of 2025.
