Long-dated British government bond yields bounced off record lows and short-date...
LONDON - Long-dated British government bond yields bounced off record lows and short-dated yields jumped to a four-week high on Friday, as investors paused for breath after ditching stocks in favour of bonds earlier this week.
Thirty-year gilt yields GB30YT=RR hit a fresh record low of 0.904% early on Friday but lifted above Thursday’s close later in the day and stood more than five basis points up on the day at 1.01% at 1442 GMT. As a result, Britain’s two-year/10-year yield curve GB2GB10=RR became further inverted to minus six basis points - though economists cautioned against reading this as a clear signal of an upcoming recession.
“If there isn’t a no deal, the economy may well surprise to the upside, and require slightly higher interest rates – an outcome that investors are underestimating in our view,” Wishart said.
