Gilt Markets Take a Turn: 30Y Yield Climbs 7bps Amid Mixed Economic Signals!

Gilt Market Analysis

Today, the gilt market experienced notable movements, particularly in the longer tenors. The 30Y yield rose by 7bps to 5.27%, while the 20Y yield increased by 6bps to 5.17%. In contrast, the 1Y and 2Y yields fell by 2bps and 1bp, respectively, closing at 3.76% and 3.76%.
