BOE faces challenge as yields skyrocket following disappointing jobs report Quick Take
- The UK jobs report was released today (June 13,) with unemployment reaching a low of 3.8%, which was lower than the forecasted 4%.
- Other metrics indicate wage-price spirals and persistent inflation, complicating the Bank of England’s efforts to manage the economy.
- Controlling inflation in the UK may require an economic downturn, notably a recession.
- As a result, yields across the yield curve have skyrocketed.
- The two-year yield reached its highest level since 2008, with other yields continuing to climb, reminiscent of the financial challenges of the mini-budget experienced last October.
