What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Concerns over fiscal deficits and potential inflation-induced rate hikes have prompted a sell-off across fixed income markets this year, according to reports. US yields are approaching global financial crisis levels, and the 30-year gilt rose above 6%, a level not seen since 1998. Ben Lord, manager of the M&G UK Inflation Linked Corporate Bond fund, noted that these high yields make the bond market compelling, a significant change from 2023.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The bond market has seen significant movement, with the Bloomberg Sterling Gilts index down around 3% this year. Lord stated that these yield levels are largely a function of US President Donald Trump’s inflationary actions, though he cautioned that there is no guarantee yields will remain high.

Trump's comments recently eased Middle East war fears, while financial news also highlighted Airtel Money's potential and an IPO delay due to the US-Israeli war on Iran.
