State Street Investments: UK Government Bonds Offer Potential Value Amid Expectations of Further Interest Rate Cuts. In its 2026 outlook report, State Street Investments Management noted that UK government bonds (gilt-edged bonds) offer potential value due to expectations of further interest rate cuts. “Weak UK economic growth and the increasing likelihood of persistently low inflation support expectations of further interest rate cuts from the Bank of England,” the investment management firm stated. The recent UK budget also indicates that the government aims to maintain market confidence while controlling rapidly growing public borrowing and striving to promote economic growth. However, “to fully realize its potential, a concrete commitment from the government to cut spending is needed.”
