Fixed rate bonds

Any chance of these paying 4% plus in the next few months?

The proposed prize freeze on energy, will reduce inflation and the need for the Bof E to raise rates as aggressively. If that theory is right, then you might be waiting a while for 4% savings rates, especially 4% + ones.

We are only 0.5% away from a 1 Year Fixed Term rate of 4% atm, so maybe not have to wait too long for that imo.

Any higher? 🤷‍♂️ Crystal ball time.

Do you mean fixed rate savings accounts?

Bonds are available with coupons (annual % interest) far in excess of 4% already - banks are 12+%, Gilts up to 6% etc.

I don't see normal gilts at 6% yet. I presume you're talking about index linked?
