The UK’s long-term borrowing costs hit 6% for the first time in almost three decades, making it the first Group of Seven economy to pay a rate that high since the euro crisis was raging in 2012.
The moves that took 30-year gilt yields to their highest since March 1998 coincided with a fresh slump in global bond markets, driven by concern spiking oil prices will reignite inflation.
