Gilt Yields Dip as 2Y Sees a 2bp Drop; PWLB Predictions Hold Steady

Gilt Market Analysis

The gilt market is experiencing a mixed session with yields showing slight declines across several tenors. The 2Y yield is down by 2bps to 3.641%, while the 5Y and 10Y yields have both decreased by 1bp, now at 3.892% and 4.504%, respectively. In contrast, the long end of the curve remains relatively stable, with the 30Y yield at 5.319%, down 1bp. The market sentiment appears to be risk-off as investors await key economic data, particularly the upcoming US jobs report, which may influence future rate expectations.
