AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Global bond volatility pushed UK gilts higher, with the 10-year yield at 5.38% near a 19-year high. This narrows Labour’s fiscal headroom ahead of John Healey’s upcoming budget and could force tighter policy or spending adjustments. Meanwhile, US long-bond yields surged to multi-decade highs, underscoring persistent inflation and energy-price risks that can spill into US equities, including the S&P 500.
