[BlackRock: Investors may pay more attention to UK long-term government bond yields before the Autumn Budget is announced] Vivek Paul of BlackRock said in a report that investors may pay more attention to UK long-term government bond yields before the Autumn Budget is announced on November 26. Concerns about increased government borrowing are putting upward pressure on sovereign bond yields in most developed markets. The Bank of England announced that it will slow the pace of quantitative tightening in the coming year, reducing its scale to 70 billion pounds, down from 100 billion pounds in the past 12 months, starting in October. The Bank of England said that the issuance ratio of long-term government bonds will be lower than that of short-term and medium-term government bonds. Paul said: "[Bank of England] policymakers hope that these measures will help limit the pressure on long-term government bond yields that is unique to the UK."
