What are bonds and why do they matter?

Bonds are loan-like debt instruments that governments and companies use to raise funds. They pay returns to investors in the form of yields, which are effectively interest rates on the debt. Concerns of stubborn inflation have led to expectations that central banks will slow down their pace of interest rate cuts, keeping them higher for longer. This has prompted a sharp sell-off in government bonds – known as gilts in the UK – pushing yields higher. This means the cost of UK government borrowing has risen, sparking concerns that this will put pressure on chancellor Rachel Reeves to further raise taxes and cut public spending.

Sterling slumps to new low; gilt yields soar

Higher bond yields would usually support the country’s currency, but there are fears that the rising costs needed to support UK government debt could lead to further tax increases or spending cuts, hindering the chances of an economic recovery. Markets "continue to function in an orderly way" and movements in government borrowing costs were being driven by "a wide range of international and domestic factors," he added.
