[UK gilt yields held steady at 4.404%, with thin trading due to holiday and anticipation of data] ⑴ UK gilt yields held steady on Monday in thin trading as markets in the US, China, and South Korea were closed for public holidays, resulting in lower overall trading activity. ⑵ Investors are awaiting key economic data this week, including UK inflation data released on Wednesday and US GDP data released on Friday. ⑶ According to Tradeweb data, the 10-year UK gilt yield was essentially unchanged at 4.404%. ⑷ From a market perspective, the holiday factor led to lower liquidity and narrower price volatility, with the market entering a wait-and-see mode, awaiting inflation and growth data to provide direction for future trends. ⑸ The market will need to pay attention to whether Wednesday's UK CPI data exceeds expectations and the impact of Friday's revised US GDP figure on global bond market sentiment.
