UK 10-year yield near record low after S&P downgrade

(Reuters) - The yield on 10-year British government debt held near a record low on Monday after Standard & Poor's stripped the United Kingdom of its AAA credit rating following the country's surprise vote to leave the European Union last Thursday. The 10-year Gilt yield was last at 0.935 percent, not far above its record low 0.933 percent set earlier Monday. (Reporting by Richard Leong; Editing by Chris Reese)
