According to Bloomberg, the UK has reopened ￡4.25 billion in gilts maturing in 2056, with an issuance yield of 5.8168%—the highest yield paid on a UK government bond since at least the establishment of the UK Debt Management Office in 1998. A source familiar with the matter said the pricing of this transaction was 0.75 basis points higher than the yield on UK gilts maturing in December 2055 with a 4.25% coupon. The offering ultimately drew ￡85 billion in subscriptions, resulting in a 20x oversubscription ratio, and the gilt carries a 5.375% coupon. The joint lead managers for the deal are BofA Securities, Goldman Sachs International, JPMorgan, Santander, and UBS Investment Bank.

The key factors include a little-known rule in the construction of this tech-heavy benchmark and the staged lock-up period arrangements for shareholders of Elon Musk’s satellite and space exploration company. These elements have limited the number of SpaceX shares available for trading in the current market.
