Shares & the stock market
These UK stocks pay the biggest dividends – where to look
UK bond yields have jumped sharply, reshaping expectations for Bank of England interest rates and putting pressure on equity valuations. In this video, AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould explains why rising two‑year and 10‑year Gilt yields matter, how they affect the FTSE 100, and which stocks now offer the highest dividend yields.
He also reveals the top 10 highest‑yielding FTSE 100 companies, all currently in financials and real estate, and discusses why unusually high yields can be a warning sign for dividend cuts.
