History
The high, low and latest values are marked. Each chart has its own scale. Hover or use the arrow keys for any day. Ranges over a year plot a sample of days, but their highs and lows match the daily data. Highs and lows are of one value per day, not intraday extremes (see notes).
Yield curve
Notes
- Changes are in basis points (1bp = 0.01%), measured against the last observation on or before the date 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year earlier. Spreads are the longer yield minus the shorter.
- The Bank of England publishes one value per day for each series: the policy rate in effect, the day’s SONIA (an average across that day’s trades), or a gilt yield estimated at the close. It does not publish intraday open, high, low and close data. So the highs and lows shown are of those daily values, and rates may have been higher or lower during a trading day.
- Gilt yields are the Bank of England’s estimated nominal par yields, fitted to gilt prices. They are not tradeable quotes. O/N on the curve is SONIA.
- The date under each rate is the day its value applies to. Hover over it for details. Rates are published on different schedules, so the dates can differ.
- SONIA for each business day is published by the Bank of England, as administrator, at 09:00 the next business day. It is made freely available in the Bank of England Database by 10:00 on the business day after that, so the SONIA shown here is usually two business days old.
- SONIA is the trimmed mean of interest rates on eligible overnight sterling deposits, weighted by volume (methodology). The Bank reformed how it is calculated on 23 April 2018, so values before then, on the 10Y chart, use the earlier method (design paper). The dotted line on that chart marks the change.
