UK 10-year bond yields hit two-week high after France election

LONDON, April 24 (Reuters) - British 10-year gilt yields

rose to their highest in two weeks as investors sold European

government bonds and put more money into riskier assets after

centrist Emmanuel Macron won the first voting round of France's

presidential election, easing fears of another populist shock.

The 10-year gilt yield rose as high as 1.102

percent in early trading, its highest since April 10. It last

stood at 1.101 percent, up about seven basis points on the day.

The yield spread between 10-year British and

German government bonds stood at around 75 basis

points, little changed from Friday.
