UK Gilt Yields Near April Lows as Inflation Fears Ease
UK 10-year gilt yields hovered just above 4.8% at the end of May, near their lowest since April 17 and on track for a 19-basis-point monthly decline, as cautious optimism over a potential US-Iran agreement helped ease inflation concerns. Negotiations to end the three-month war continued, with reports that Washington and Tehran had agreed on a 60-day ceasefire extension to allow formal talks, though President Trump has yet to approve the memorandum of understanding. The bond market also drew support from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party suffering local election losses that were not as severe as initially feared. Domestic data further bolstered sentiment, with a cooling labor market, softer-than-expected inflation, and signs of slowing economic activity leading traders to scale back expectations for a Bank of England rate hike.
