WPA Pool/Getty ImagesThe first week for the government was a bruising full of resignation, reorganization and hardening in the markets.
All of this will have an impact on what results in the famous red box of the chancellor at 11 weeks.
The first thing to note is that Rachel Reeves will hold this home bag for the second time on November 26th.
Whatever happens Deputy Prime MinisterThe security of Reeves’ position was open to announce the history of the budget in a conversation with me in Birmingham.
Message received at Downing Street Market response to summer tears of the chancellor In Commons, it increased considering that the borrowing cost was separated from its post.
When I saw him, there was no question about going anywhere when I branded a hard hat and trowel on a home construction site.
Iz We need to get qualified and buy more apartments and houses, dedi two brick apprentices said, although not entirely convinced of their own property technique.
Quite firmly Dismissed speculation Budget measures, big black hole estimates and some sharp words Even for budget responsibility officeWe will come back.
The chancellor spent the country on the coast of “listening to business” and taking some time on Cornish coast.
In the same period, global bond markets seem fragile. Some economists even swim the idea that there was a 50 billion black hole that could lead to credit from the IMF.
As politicians return to work this week and the US traders return from a national holiday on Tuesday, the 30 -year gilded rate – the effective interest rate faced by the British government for too long -term borrowing – Start up to heights Not seen since the early days of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
There was an importance for the undesirable turning point: since the Bank of the UK became independent, the gains of relative macroeconomic stability have been opened for about thirty years.
I told the chancellor that fragile bond markets were a reflection of the government and their personal reliability problem. I had similar interactions with previous chancelles, including Kwasi Kwarteng.
Reeves was determined that this was not the case and that the movement in the bond markets since the beginning of the year was compatible with global tendencies. “Serious Economists” did not talk about a challenge -specific challenge to the IMF or the UK.
At the end of the week, the rise was proved to be true. The 30 -year return fell from behind not only on Monday, but also significantly lower. Weaker US job data than expected.
This was common with many major economies. In other words, the bond markets of this week were not a decision about Rollercoaster UK’s internal, economic or political developments.

This said that such long -term borrowing constituted only a small part of the general government debt.
And in terms of demand, there was no sign of a record request in some measures in the actual sales of the UK debt last week.
However, larger painting is that these forms of debt do not directly affect the five -year fixed mortgage ratios.
Therefore, gilded markets do not show a problem -specific problem with mini -budget style. At the same time, there is a clear warning signal here.
Fragile global bond markets draw attention to non -attractive economic or political factors. In this case, England high inflationAnd then any doubt Summer U -Turns It can be rapidly problematic about the government’s control over events.
Indeed, the chancellery team, the autumn of the difficult budget balancing action of the response to the borrowing limits of the borrowing limits to use the Bond Market Rollercoaster if there is no more debt. They will claim that any gap, higher taxes or lower expenditures.
The amount of this adjustment depends on markets and OBR’s decision on the long -term performance of the economy. For me, there was some handcuffed comments for me that showed me that the chancellor depends on my primary roles instead of making “running comments about politics”.
The OBR decision on the UK efficiency can be the biggest determinant of how much space it is and therefore how much budget pain of the chancellor should manage.
Wait some bargaining that economists’ Downing Street team, OBR should reflect their reforms, especially in planning. The first recruitment of this critical independent decision is expected to be delivered to Chancellor in the last days of this month during a conference speech at Liverpool.
At this point, the long list of potential budget revenue amplifiers will begin to fill the Treasury E -Table, known as the “Point Card”. Rumors will fly around. Indeed, ministers have been surprised by some speculation. For example, Bank shares fell In the suggestions, Chancellor would issue a thought tank report about wind taxes published while on vacation and never read.
Part budgets already Expenditure reviewAnd there is no plan to reopen this process, which means that any restriction should come from a wider welfare bill.
The chancellor did not exclude me, but he said in the reforms that help people return to work. New cabinetHe may be more appropriate without the former prime minister, the author of a leaked letter about henor taxes.
After all, the chances of writing long -term, pro -growth reforms to the tax system of the chancellor. He still hopes to do that.
However, OBR E -Tablo, market hardening and unhappiness on cuts will determine how big the extra tax demand in the red box is on November 26th.
A lot can change between and between and then.
