Gilt Yields Slide: 30Y Down 8bps, PWLB Predictions Show Volatility!

Gilt Market Analysis

The gilt market is experiencing notable declines in yields across various tenors. The 1Y yield has decreased by 2bps to 3.547%, while the 10Y yield has fallen by 7bps to 4.403%. In the longer end, the 30Y yield is down 8bps to 5.151%. This downward movement is largely driven by the recent GBP S&P Global Construction PMI release, which came in at 40.1, matching forecasts but indicating continued contraction in the construction sector. Overall market sentiment appears to be risk-off, as investors seek safer assets amid economic uncertainty.
