Bank of England deadline on Gilts

“Despite assertions from the Bank of England to the contrary, we expect that the UK’s central bank will extend in some form its bond-buying support beyond Friday’s self-imposed deadline. It will likely be called something other than an ‘extension’, but we expect that support will not be removed.

“In the midst of such market upheaval, the Bank can’t change path now. Gilt markets are a cornerstone of the financial system and a major pillar upon which pensions, insurance, amongst other funds, rely.”
