So been up most of night here in PBC dodging Tornado warnings and watching world stock markets sink and the Bank of England just comes out and says they are postponing selling long term Gilts and instead "temporarily" buying long term Gilts. So they go from QT back to QE at the drop of a hat. The 30 yr Gilt yield just dropped 50 basis points and stock market futures just spun around like a top. This is right from the south park episode. Interesting this occurred on the day where the US 10 yr crossed 4%. And immediately dropped to under 3.9 before creeping up again. Looks like the BOE has joined the BOJ in trying to get Grand Master J to wake up and join the party. Timeline on that? anyone ? anyone?
EDIT: BOE says this was an emergency operation to stem what could have been Collateral Damage in the financial system this afternoon. Me thinks they are not alone???????
Edit #2. The 30 YR Gilt yield is now down 85 basis points. I have never seen that big of a move in any "developed" sovereign in one day much less 2 hours.
OOPS. Just after I hit Enter, the 30 yr Gilt yield was down ONE %. Wow.
