Global Government Bond Yields Reach Multi-Decade Highs Amid Inflation and Geopolitical Tensions
Global government bond yields have surged to multi-decade highs amid strong economic data, persistent inflation, and geopolitical tensions, including the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. US 30-year Treasury yields reached levels not seen since 2004, while Japan's 10-year bond yields hit their highest since 1996. Rising energy prices, heavy government borrowing, and expectations of further central bank tightening are driving the selloff, increasing borrowing costs and pressuring markets worldwide.
