Gilt Market Analysis

Today, the gilt market experienced notable movements, particularly in the short end of the curve. The 1Y yield rose by 8bps to 3.670%, marking the largest shift of the day. Other tenors saw slight declines, with the 2Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 15Y yields dropping by 1bps, 2bps, 2bps, and 3bps respectively. Overall market sentiment appears to be risk-off, influenced by external economic factors and geopolitical tensions.
