In a startling move, the Bank of England cut interest rates to .5% and announced plans to buy 75 billion pounds of gilts (the British equivalent of the U.S. Treasury bond). Gilt prices rose sharply, especially longer term maturities.
This had the effect of changing the slope of the yield curve (longer term maturities gained ground over shorter term ones). The Bank of England initiated these moves in an effort to bring down medium- and long-term rates.
