> Healey has pledged to keep fiscal rules with a buffer for uncertainty. Market pricing also points to a low likelihood of a Bank of England rate cut in November 2026.

Some investors are pricing in UK Chancellor John Healey’s commitment to fiscal rules, and the resulting gilt rally is putting the credibility of his coming budget in focus.

Gilts, or UK government bonds, have gained amid expectations that Healey will maintain those rules with a buffer for uncertainty. The rally suggests confidence in his fiscal approach, while the budget will test whether that confidence holds.

Market pricing implies a low likelihood of a Bank of England rate cut at its November 2026 meeting. That pricing is consistent with a scenario in which fiscal discipline could lower inflation expectations, reducing the need for rate cuts.

Investors will watch Healey’s budget and Bank of England officials’ comments on inflation and policy for signs that could shape confidence in the fiscal outlook.
