The UK’s bond market is sending a clear signal: confidence in fiscal and economic policy remains fragile. Under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, 30-Year bond yields have risen significantly above the levels seen during Liz Truss’s turbulent tenure. While markets previously cheered a stable pound and resilient equities, recent trends tell a more nuanced story. Yields remain high, the pound shows signs of weakening, and the FTSE 100 is largely stagnant. This points to mixed confidence in the UK’s economic direction.
