US 30-Year Treasury Yields Rise to Highest Level Since 2002 Amid Oil Price Surge
US 30-year Treasury yields reached their highest levels since 2002, briefly touching around 5.7%, driven by rising oil prices above $100 per barrel and concerns over inflation and government deficits. The increase in yields also affected European bonds, with UK and French long-term yields rising. Market participants anticipate further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, with swaps pricing in a high chance of increases this year. The bond selloff reflects central bank repricing amid ongoing geopolitical tensions impacting energy prices.
