LONDON: British government bond yields fell in early trade on Tuesday, following US and euro zone debt, after hitting multi-year highs this month on worries about inflation at home and in the United States, weak growth and high government borrowing.
Ten-year gilt yields opened about 4 basis points lower at 4.853%, below a peak of 4.925% struck on Jan. 9 which was its highest since 2008.
