BOE reportedly to further delay QT to ensure gilts market stability

  • BOE wants to see stability in the gilts market before engaging in quantitative tightening
  • Policymakers feel that gilts market have been "very distressed" in recent weeks
  • Inflation control can be managed via interest rate changes
  • Likely to see a further pause in sale of gilts bought until market is calmer
  • Full report (may be gated)

And so the can gets kicked down the road again. But for now, stability in UK bonds is very much needed so this is arguably a welcome development. The pound got a slight nudge higher, with cable moving up from 1.1375 to 1.1408 before settling back around 1.1380 at the moment.
