Gilt Yields Could Fall Further If Investors Reduce BOE Rate Rise Expectations -- Market Talk
Dow Jones05-20 21:14
1314 GMT - Yields on U.K. government bonds, or gilts, could extend declines if investors lower their expectations of the Bank of England interest-rate rises, Peel Hunt's Kallum Pickering says in a note. U.K. jobs data and inflation data released this week came in weaker than expected, reducing the risk of sharp BOE rate rises in the coming months. Investors currently price in a total of 51 basis points of BOE rate rises in 2026, down from 65 basis points priced in prior to the release of the U.K. jobs and inflation data, LSEG data show.
