If European bond markets are going to sell off further, life may become even harder for UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, ING's FX analysts Chris Turner notes.
"Remember she is going to provide a spending update on 26 March and needs to credibly argue how the government will hit its fiscal rule of a balanced budget in FY29/30. Higher gilt yields mean a higher bar for a credible spending plan and questions whether she can present a plan that defers spending cuts to the later years."
"If gilt yields are pressing their January highs at the time of the March review, this means either: a) the Chancellor will need to deliver deeper spending cuts or b) UK asset markets get hit should her plans not look credible."
"Neither scenario is a good look for Pound Sterling and that is why we doubt GBP/USD holds any near-term gains over the 1.26 area."
