Bailey Attributes Part of UK Yield Curve Rise to Bond Risk Premiums
The Bank of England’s Bank Rate stands at 3.75%, while Bailey distinguished bond risk pricing from expectations of a rate increase.

The Bank Rate stands at 3.75%. Bailey identified compensation for bond-market risk as one factor behind the rise in the UK yield curve.
