15-year gilt yields July 2013
 

After the surge in yields last month the Federal Reserve has reassured markets that the $85 billion stimulus package would continue for now and send gilt yields lower.

gilt yields:  
annuity rates down 6 basis points

Annuities are essentially based on the 15-year gilt yields and a 6 basis point fall would result in a 0.6% decrease in annuity rates although providers may decide not to make any decreases until there is a more significant change in the direction of yields.

US Fed reassures market sending yields lower

The shock of the end of the $85 billion a month stimulus package had sent prices for stocks and bonds lower deflating the bubble in both markets. This forced the US Federal Reserve to reassure markets that tapering would only start as unemployment reduced and would not end until it reached their target of 6.5% of the working population.

For July the yields range for the month was from 2.85% to 3.04% or 19 basis points which is less volatility than previous months. Fig 2 below shows the daily 15-year gilt yields and the increase or decrease from the previous day's close:
