UK 10-year gilt yields rose toward 4.95%, their highest since May 21, as inflation concerns intensified amid escalating Middle East tensions. The US and Iran exchanged fresh strikes, with President Donald Trump warning that Iran is taking "too long" to negotiate a peace agreement and will now "pay the price." Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf also stated on Wednesday that Tehran would respond "decisively and without delay" to any aggression. Rising energy costs from the conflict have heightened inflation fears, prompting investors to price in at least a 25-basis-point rate hike by the Bank of England in September, with a strong chance of a second increase. However, dovish Monetary Policy Committee member Alan Taylor, who backed the 8-1 vote to hold rates in April, said on Monday that current interest rates are "quite restrictive" and saw no need for further tightening to control inflation.
