let's take a look at some of the reaction on financial markets. the pound had been under pressure on wednesday amid the political turmoil — but it rallied when it became clear liz truss was going to resign. but, as you can see, it has since fallen back. 0n the bond markets, government borrowing costs also eased. but as veteran market commentator david buik told the bbc, the uk's government borrowing costs — as seen in the "yields", or interest rates on government bonds known as gilts — are still massively higher than at the start of the year. and it will be vital for whoever takes over from liz truss to rebuild investor confidence to get those yields down. we saw gilt yields rise from 0.91% at the beginning of this year to 6.5% about ten days ago.
