UK 10-year gilt yields, the maturity behind much of Britain's new borrowing, rose more than 7 bps to 5.527%, the highest since July 2007, topping last week's 5.51%.
The 20- and 30-year yields hit 6.00% and 6.05%, their highest since early 1998, moving in step with US Treasuries.
The selloff was triggered by Brent jumping 5% to $105 on Gulf shipping attacks and hurricane risk to US oil output.
The US 10-year yield touched a 24-year high of 5.326%, and the euro slid near 17-month lows as worries over France's finances spread to Italian and Greek debt.
BoE Chief Economist Huw Pill said central banks must stay focused on inflation as yields rise; he was one of three MPC members who voted for a hike in September. The pressure lands just before Chancellor John Healey's 28 Oct budget.
