Gilt Markets Take a Turn: 30Y Yield Climbs 7bps!

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 40Y yield also increased by 7bps to 5.24%. The 10Y yield saw a rise of 5bps to 4.54%. This volatility comes on the back of today’s economic data releases, which showed a 0.4% decline in Nationwide Housing Prices against a forecast of a 0.3% increase, contributing to a risk-off sentiment in the market. The S&P Global Manufacturing PMI also came in lower than expected at 50.6, indicating potential economic headwinds.
