Bank of England pauses gilt sales until 2027 while keeping 2034 unwind target
x/bank-of-england
— Sep 17, 2026
The Bank of England has redesigned its quantitative tightening plan, halting long-dated gilt sales and steering the unwind toward shorter and medium maturities while targetting zero long-dated holdings by 2034; it will pause open-market sales and potentially sell via the Debt Management Office to smooth supply and avoid weak pricing. The changes, unfolding over about eight years, aim to reduce the Asset Purchase Facility and manage higher borrowing costs while maintaining a clear path for investors and taxpayers.

— Jul 24, 2026
The United States announced new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on imports from about 60 trading partners over forced-labor enforcement, stating the measures replace existing duties rather than add new ones, with Bangladesh noting no new tariff but a replacement taking effect after a legal transition.
