UK 10-year gilt yield climbs to 5.223%, highest since June 2008, as oil rally fuels global bond selloff
AI Market Summary
Brent's move above $91 amid Middle East escalation is lifting global inflation expectations and catalyzing a synchronized sovereign bond selloff, with UK 10Y yields at 2008 highs and Germany/Japan yields at multi-decade peaks. Higher yields and heavier issuance (including AI-related corporate funding) tighten financial conditions and pressure risk assets short term, while higher energy-driven inflation complicates the path for major central banks.
