Summary

  • Britain’s local elections are a potential market flashpoint.
  • Minimal political risk is priced, even as bond yields hit post-2008 highs of 5%.
  • Borrowing costs could initially climb if the political situation worsens, but a leadership change need not materially alter the fiscal or Bank of England outlook.
