Bank of England moderates QT to stabilize bonds
The Bank of England has reduced its sales of UK government bonds and completely halted their sale until next April, in a move considered a radical overhaul of its plan to sell bonds accumulated over the past decade. This comes after bond yields, which had risen to their highest levels since 1998, declined in response to adjustments in the quantitative tightening program. Additionally, the bank decided to hold the interest rate steady at 3.75% for the sixth consecutive time, as part of efforts to support the bond market amid concerns about rising inflation and the potential unsustainability of the government’s fiscal program. This measure contributed to a 10 basis point decrease in two-year bond yields, easing pressure on the UK government and helping to stabilize the bond market amid similar global uncertainties.
