UK Gilts vs US Treasuries — the mechanics
Both are G7 sovereign curves, but they are not substitutes. A UK investor buying Treasuries takes dollar risk; a US investor in gilts takes sterling risk. Policy cycles at the BoE and Fed can diverge for years.
Same economic idea, different currency and different plumbing. Gilts: DMO, semi-annual, GEMMs, sterling. Treasuries: Treasury auctions, 32nds still linger in dealer chat, dollars, world reserve collateral.
A UK household buying a T-note takes USD/GBP risk that can dwarf a 40bp yield gap. A US household in gilts takes the opposite. Hedge the FX and you pay the hedge, which often eats the yield gap.
Liquidity: on-the-run 10-year Treasuries are the deepest government bond on earth. A 2061 gilt is a specialist line. Do not compare their bid–ask.

Βασικά συμπεράσματα
- Same economic idea, different currency and different plumbing.
- Prices and yields change. When this site quotes them, it dates them on the live board.
- Credit of a G7 government in its own currency is not the same as a stable screen price, and not the same as a bank deposit.
Συχνές ερωτήσεις
- Which is safer, gilts or Treasuries?
- Credit quality is high for both. The practical difference is currency, liquidity (Treasuries are deeper) and local inflation.
