The Bank of England has announced a temporary halt to the sale of long-dated bonds as part of its quantitative tightening program, responding to market pressures following a surge in gilt yields linked to recent tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. The postponement affects an auction of £600 million ($774 million) in long-dated government bonds that was scheduled for April 14. Officials indicated that the decision was based on recent market volatility and was not intended to signal a change in monetary policy stance. This move comes amid broader market turmoil, prompting discussions about potential impacts on currency trading, particularly regarding GBP/USD.
