Bond market volatility continued on Wednesday morning after the Bank of England stepped in to take action to stabilize spiking U.K. gilt yields.
What Happened? U.K. government bonds were on track for their largest monthly rise since 1957, but the Bank of England announced it will suspend its planned bond selling next week and begin buying long-dated bonds. The bond market volatility ramped up starting last Friday when new U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss announced a bold stimulus program that includes tax cuts and investment incentives.
