following higher-than-expected inflation data in the UK, the yield on UK government bonds rose due to an increase in market expectations of a reduction in the number of interest rate cuts. The overall inflation rate in the UK rose from 1.7% in September to 2.3% in October, higher than the economists' consensus expectation of 2.2% in a survey by The Wall Street Journal. Richard Flax, Chief Investment Officer of Moneyfarm, said in a report that "the cautious attitude of policymakers still lowers the possibility of a rate cut in December" due to the rise in inflation. According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group, the market expects a 16% probability of a rate cut by the Bank of England in December. Data from trading platform Tradeweb shows that the yield on 10-year UK government bonds rose 5 basis points to 4.485%, while the yield on 2-year UK government bonds rose 4 basis points to 4.451%.
