Gilt yields historical
Government bonds in the U.K., India, and several other Commonwealth countries are known as gilts. Gilts are the equivalent of U.S. Treasury securities in their respective countries. The term gilt is often used informally to describe any bond that has a very low risk of default and a correspondingly low rate of return. Tradeweb and FTSE Russell produce end-of-day Gilt reference prices in a manner consistent with IOSCO principles. Tradeweb calculates the reference prices based on data from the Tradeweb dealer-to-client U.K. Gilt trading platform; FTSE Russell operates as the administrator of the reference prices and uses these prices in the calculation of the FTSE Actuaries UK Gilts Index Series.
