The UK government pays the highest yield in a 10-year debt auction since 1999, according to one report. The higher borrowing cost is linked to turbulence in bond markets at the time of the sale.

In the context provided, this occurs as political leadership in the UK is mentioned, but the reporting centers on the auction outcome—specifically the yield level reached for the 10-year issuance.
Other details such as the size of the auction, the exact yield percentage, and subsequent market reaction are not included in the provided text. Overall, both versions of the report emphasize the same point: the auction result marks the highest yield in the stated historical comparison, pointing to pressure in the bond market.
