United Kingdom 5-Year Treasury Gilt Auction
A Treasury Gilt auction with a maturity of five years reflects the average yield on government-issued Treasury Gilts with a term of five years. The estimated yield may be a reflection of the condition of the UK's government debt, and as a result, a rise or reduction in the yield might signal the onset of economic growth or recession.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the GBP while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the GBP.
