eToro global markets strategist Lale Akoner said UK government borrowing costs
have climbed to multi‑year highs, increasing pressure on public finances.
Renewed inf worries, fiscal uncertainty ahead of the Oct. 28 budget and a broad
rise in global sovereign yields helped push yields higher, LSEG data showed. The
30‑year yield touched 5.904% intraday, its highest in over 28 years; the 10‑year
rose to 5.255%, the highest since 2008. She said: "Higher yields boost income
but will strain mortgages, rate‑sensitive equities and government finances."
