The yield on the UK’s 30-year gilt climbed to 5.695%, its highest since May 1998, as fiscal concerns continued to mount. Markets are now focused on the upcoming Autumn Budget, where Finance Minister Rachel Reeves is widely expected to raise taxes to keep fiscal targets on track - moves that could further complicate efforts to boost economic growth. At the same time, investors are closely watching Treasury Committee hearings with Bank of England policymakers for signals on the path of interest rates and potential adjustments to the central bank’s quantitative tightening program.
