UK 2-yr gilt yield up 1.2 bps on Friday, weekly gain 17.3 bps
AI take
The divergence between short and long gilt yields underscores how US labor data is now the dominant driver for UK rate expectations, with the 2-year repricing sharply on payrolls while the 10-year faded. This suggests the market is focused on near-term central bank policy rather than long-run fiscal or growth concerns, a shift worth monitoring. The weekly gains reflect persistent rate-cut repricing pressure, but whether Friday's spike marks a turning point or a blip hinges on upcoming data consistency.
