UK Gilt Purchases Surge in January Amid Large Trading Volumes
February 13, 2025
In January 2025, UK government bond (gilt) purchases surged, marking the highest activity in four years on major consumer investment platforms. Trading in gilts on Hargreaves Lansdown increased 75% YoY, with January’s trading volume being its highest since 2021. Similarly, AJ Bell Plc also said that gilts had been the most popular investment among its customers in the first two weeks of 2025. Gilt yields spiked, with 2Y and 10Y yields hitting 4.6% and 4.9%, respectively. Analysts cited factors like tax advantages and increased competition between bonds and equities. Analysts predicted continued strong demand for gilts in February due to high yields and the redemption of a £36bn bond typically used by wealthy locals looking to lower their tax bills.
UK gilts are available on the BondbloX app and were trading stable yesterday – its 4.75% 2030s are at 102.8, yielding 4.19%.
