Gilt Yields Rise: 1Y Up 5bps, PWLB Predictions Show Volatility Ahead

Gilt Market Analysis

The gilt market is experiencing notable movements this morning, with the 1-year yield rising by 5bps to 3.577%. The 10-year yield has increased by 4bps to 4.564%, while the 30-year yield has also risen by 5bps to 5.386%. This volatility is primarily driven by political uncertainties surrounding Prime Minister Keir Starmer's leadership, which has led to increased pressure on the pound and gilts. Overall market sentiment appears to be risk-off as investors react to these developments.
