UK GILTS: TRUSSED UP?
British government debt has had a torrid couple of days following the new Labour government’s first budget, which hiked taxes, boosted borrowing and increased day-to-day spending.
That has raised memories of ex Prime Minister Liz Truss’ chaotic 2022 mini-Budget, although this week’s 21 basis point (bp) surge in the 10-year gilt yield, which sets government borrowing costs, is mild compared with the debt market rout two years ago.
Rabobank strategists reckon this week’s gilt slump is overdone. In a note to clients, they said Britain’s lenders in international bond markets should have seen Labour’s budget coming.
Projections in March under the former Conservative leadership involved “unrealistically deep spending cuts,” Rabobank said, “that were never going to fly.”
Research consultancy Capital Economics said while Labour finance minister Rachel Reeves misjudged how much additional borrowing markets would accept, her budget will also shrink Britain’s fiscal deficit and stabilise debt levels.
Truss’ financial plan, by contrast, involved a “disregard for fiscal rules, budget process and central bank independence,” Capital Economics said.
But bond investors are twitchy ahead of the Nov. 5 U.S. election, where a Donald Trump victory and subsequent inflationary policies could pressure the U.S. Treasury market that dominates global government debt moves.
Capital Economics said:
“It is also possible that, as in 2022, rapid rises in bond yields trigger a self-reinforcing cycle of margin calls and further price falls. The recent rises in gilts and Treasury yields are still considerably smaller and more orderly than back then, but that could change in the wake of the (U.S.) election.”
