The UK gilts traded flat Wednesday as investors remain keen to watch the country’s fourth-quarter gross domestic product (GDP), due to be release by the end of this week, which will remain crucial in deciding further movements in the money market.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year gilts, which moves inversely to its price, hovered around 1.19 percent, the super-long 30-year bond yields also remained flat at 1.77 percent while the yield on the short-term 2-year traded nearly 1 basis points down at 0.17 percent by 09:40 GMT.
