What this means for people
When this rises, government borrowing costs more, and fixed mortgage rates often follow.
The figure is the return investors ask to lend to the government for about ten years. A higher figure means that borrowing costs the government more.

How to read this
A market price, every business day
Trading in government bonds sets this yield. It can move on any business day. It is not a rate the government announces.
Not adjusted for inflation
This yield is not adjusted for inflation. An index-linked gilt is a different measure.
Not a forecast
A higher yield means investors are asking for more return to hold government debt. It is not, by itself, a prediction of Bank Rate.
