1117 GMT - Yields on U.K. two-year gilts fall to the lowest since March as investors cut back their bets on the Bank of England interest-rate rises. The prospects of the BOE increasing interest rates in the coming months have dropped as oil prices continue to fall, easing concerns about inflation risk. Investors currently price in a total of 19 basis points of BOE rate rises in 2026, down from 25bps of hikes priced in a week ago, LSEG data show. Two-year gilt yields are down 2 basis points to last trade at 4.098%, having dropped to a three-month low of 4.080% earlier in the session, Tradeweb data show. (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
