The government bonds of the U.K. and the currency of the U.K. tumbled.
This is the U.K. that we have known.
This is the jungle.
The U.K. is the evil empire.
The U.K. must be destroyed.

UK gilts and sterling hammered as oil prices soar
https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-gilts-sterling-hammered-oil-prices-soar-2026-03-09/
Summary
* Sterling on track for biggest drop in more than a month
* Two-year gilt yields on track for biggest rise since 2022
British government bonds and sterling tumbled on Monday as a 25% jump in oil prices driven by the war in the Middle East fuelled fears of higher inflation and prompted bets on a possible Bank of England rate hike this year.
Investors see Britain as more exposed than many other European countries to an energy-price shock linked to the conflict due in part to weak government finances.
Sterling fell 0.8% to $1.331, on track for its biggest daily drop in more than a month, while gilts again underperformed French, German and U.S. government debt.
The two-year gilt yield surged as much as 37 basis points in early trade to 4.239%.
By 0923 GMT it was up 27 bps, still heading for its biggest one-day rise since the turmoil after former Prime Minister Liz Truss' September 2022 fiscal plans. Bond yields move inversely to prices.
Five- and 10-year yields jumped 22 bps and 16 bps respectively.

英国債と英ポンドが急落、年内利上げを織り込み直す
ttps://jp.reuters.com/markets/japan/GCHCSPH7BVNDVBF4OPPRH27PO4-2026-03-09/
英国債（ギルト）とポンドが９日、急落した。中東戦争を受けた原油価格急騰がインフレ高進への懸念を呼び、英中央銀行（イングランド銀行）が年内に利上げに踏み切るとの観測が広がった。
財政基盤の脆弱さもあるため英国は他の欧州諸国よりエネルギー価格ショックの影響を受けやすいと市場は見ている。
英ポンド は０.８%安の１.３３１ドルと、１カ月超ぶりの大幅な下落。一方、英国債は再びフランス、ドイツ、米国債を下回るパフォーマンスとなった。
２年物国債利回り は取引開始直後に３７ベーシスポイント（ｂｐ）急騰し４.２３９%に達した。０９２３ＧＭＴ（日本時間午後６時２３分）時点では２７ｂｐ上昇、１日の上昇幅としては２０２２年９月のトラス前首相による財政方針発表後の混乱時以来となる水準に向かっている。
５年物 と１０年物 の利回りはそれぞれ２２ｂｐ、１６ｂｐ上昇。
