Working with the UK Long Gilt series

The Long Gilt future's defining data event is late September 2022, when the UK "mini-budget" triggered a gilt collapse violent enough that the Bank of England intervened to halt a pension-fund doom loop — days of moves that were previously considered impossible for a G7 bond market. This series (from end-2017) contains that window in full; risk models that haven't been stress-tested against it are not stress-tested. Price moves inversely to yields, and rolls apply.
